On Property and Tax

For the Tenure of Acalmaehr Calith

 

To the Blessed Citizens of Haelun’or,

 

In the light of our move to Azuras, I thought it best to discuss and lay out the new tax regulations that we shall see within elcihi’thilln. I assure you all that your paid taxes are put to good use and the majority of funds will be stored away for when needs arise, nevertheless it is one continuous requirement we must all maintain as to ensure the longevity of our Silver City.

I shall lay out the way tax shall be regulated, calculated and handed in elcihi’thilln for the duration of my tenure.

Calculation

 

The calculation of tax within elcihi’thilln is an incredibly simple task, one that looks at the building itself, the occupants as well as what is below the building. 

 

1. ‘View tax’ as colloquially named is the tax of ten minas placed upon a property that has an outstanding view of the surrounding regions or city itself. This tax has some headway for subjectivity but the overall theme is that homes with balconies or large overlooks that can see a large portion of elcihi’thilln or its surrounding area are homes deemed worthy of a ‘view tax’.
2. ‘Basement tax’ is the second additional fee placed upon residents who have underground areas that expand the horizontal dimensions of their original property.
3. Finally the occupant tax, the main sum of mina that will come from the home is dictated by its number of occupants: that being ten mina per living resident within the home. Those who are of temporary stay are permitted to be voided from such a tax for one elven week otherwise they will be counted as an occupant in future collections.

Regulation

 

One of the main concerns for a system of tax regulation such as this is its longstanding reliability, it is for that reason that I will implement the routine of every several elven weeks- typically between four to eight. Officials of the Silver State such as the Okarir’mali or if required Sillumiran shall run short occupancy investigations into each home within elcihi’thilln. Fret not for your privacy lliran, as there shall be a heavy set of codes that these officials must follow.

 

1. Citizens of the Silver State have the right to deny access to specific rooms that they deem too personal, however corridors and larger living spaces of residences are excluded from this.
2. Under no circumstances may an individual carrying out an occupancy investigation damage, break down or otherwise force entry into locations within a home, nor may they force down the front entrance to a home. 
3. Officials carrying out an occupancy investigation are to survey corridors and living spaces of one’s residence, asking questions on how many occupants are present and each of their rooms to assess if the total is accurate, if they believe that such occupant is lying that individual may be brought to questioning at a future date, or a secondary occupancy investigation is done at a later date.

Handover

 

Taxes shall be collected in the office, citizens of elcihi’thilln will find tax credit slips in denominations of twenty, ten, and five mina available for purchase from those working within the tax office. Additionally one would easily find the Silver City’s bank within such a building, alongside the State endorsed stalls for trinkets that make for ideal gifts or personal mementos.

 

The code of conduct for tax collection is as routine as any other:

1. Mali’aheral will have the elven year to place their due to tax into the correct depository for their home, on such a barrel would be the mina requested as a reminder of payment due. Mali'aheral, although advised not to, are permitted to ‘pay in advance’ by adding additional slips to their barrel which will be taken out.
2. On the last day of the elven year a check will be made for all tax depositories, should a citizen of the Silver City not have the correct amount of mina deposited into their respective deposit, they will be contacted swiftly by a steward to rectify such mistake, and are given till the first day of the next elven year to hand it over.
3. On such next day are all tax credits are collected, any who have failed to rectify their mistake will face a twenty mina charge on their name, which may be paid at any time. Should an individual earn up to forty mina in debt to the State they will risk eviction the following Elven year, although these ‘strikes’ as colloquially called do not need paying through the tax credit system, it is advised to remove them as it puts such citizen at closer risk of untimely leave from the Silver City.

“Only Acal’maehr would try to make taxes sound regal and exciting.” A lover of tax evasion let out an almighty groan from the confines of her new bachelor pad.
