A RESOLUTION TO ADVISE HIS ROYAL MAJESTY AND THE AULIC GOVERNMENT ON MATTERS OF PROVINCIAL TAXATION

 

 

 

 

Motioned by the Lord Speaker Osvald Barclay, confirmed by the Royal Duma.

 

 

 

The issue of provincial taxation has created a lot of discourse between the Imperial State and the provincial Aulic Government, sparking various points of debate. Through this resolution, the Royal Duma seeks to advise a stance on provincial tax for the Aulic Government.

SECTION I - THE STANCE OF THE ROYAL DUMA

On matters of provincial taxation, the representatives within the Royal Duma of Haense unanimously disagree with the premise of the Imperial Administration levying taxes on the Crown of Hanseti-Ruska. It is the opinion of the representatives that since the Crown of Hanseti-Ruska manages their lands and economy in a self-sustaining manner, a provincial tax is not warranted. The representatives have also expressed their worry on matters of peerage taxation, which the Crown might have to enforce, to manage a provincial tax.

 

SECTION II - ON CONCESSIONS

The Representatives of Hanseti-Ruska unanimously agree that a tax on the lands of Koeng Josef from the Imperial State is not a line to be crossed, and we broadly do not wish to give any concessions on matters of taxation. We vehemently disagree with the idea of enforcing unity through payment, and think that no ground should be given by the Aulic Government to levy taxes upon the property of the Haeseni Monarchy.

 

SECTION III - ON POLICY

The Representatives of Hanseti-Ruska unanimously agree with the policy on taxation currently being carried out by the Aulic Government, and wish for the continuation of these endeavours.

 

Signed:

His Royal Majesty, Josef I, by the Grace of Godan, King of Hanseti and Ruska, Grand Hetman of the Army, Prince of Bihar, Dules, Ulgaard, Lahy, Sorbesborg and Slesvik, Duke of Carnatia and Vidaus, Margrave of Rothswald, Count of Graiswald, Karikhov, Baranya, Kvasz, Kavat, Karovia, Kovachgrad, Torun, Turov, Kaunas, Alban, Reza and Markev, Baron of Rytsburg, Venzia, Esenstadt, Krepost and Kralta, Lord of the Westfolk, Protector of the Highlanders, etcetera
