To prevent tax evasion, the following regulations are imposed:

(5) Any deposit made by a citizen that is not reported as required by this Act shall be seized by the Department of Economy.

In accordance to 1.2(d) Of the constitution I hereby Veto this bill
The Reason for this I relate below:
1. Over the course of the last week, I have discussed various areas of this bill / Tax proposed while I believe we need to focus on reentering Krunas lost to inactive player accounts, this bill is a band aid that will do more damage overall than work to solve the issues we face on BC.
2. General public dislike of balance taxes, wither they are active or not this opens the door to consider balance taxes further which has always had a general dislike, from the last PM to me, and I believe many before agreeing with this.
3. From conversations with many I have come to the conclusion that the discussion here was not finished before the bill was moved to voting and more details can be worked out, I look forward to assisting in this area.​
