[KaiserDave]

Cis Tax Act


1. All Lincoln Individuals identifying as Cisgender shall have $0.24 added to their Income Tax Bill each year.

2. All Lincoln Individuals identifying as Straight shall have $0.24 added to their Income Tax Bill each year, in addition to the amount added by Section 1 if applicable.

3. If there is any ambiguity as to whether Section 1 or Section 2 applies to a given individual, it shall apply to them.

4. Revenues raised from this bill will go to a dedicated fund to provide governmental assistance to those seeking Gender Reassignment Surgery.

5. If someone changes their identity during the middle of a tax year in a way that changes what they would be charged under Section 1 or 2, they will instead be charged a prorated amount of $0.02 per month, or $0.01 per fortnight, for each time period in which they need  to be charged.

6. When filing taxes for income made in 2020, Residents will indicate their current identification for the purposes of Section 1 and 2. In the event someone has already filed taxes for income made in 2020, the IRS shall send them an additional form to obtain their identities. Residents will be able to update their identities at any time by calling, faxing, emailing, or a sending a letter to the IRS. No charges are applied for income made in 2020 or earlier.

7. For income made in 2021, the appropriate amount of money shall be charged according to the identity known on March 1, 2021 (For instance, if someone is known to be straight on March 1, 2021, $0.24 will be added to the tax liability due April 15, 2022), unless another identity is made clear later in 2021.

8. Charges will apply on a rolling basis for income made in 2022 or later.

9. Where not otherwise stated, the bill shall take immediate effect once signed by the Governor.  

Wulfric has another non serious proposal. Let's get this over with.

Will this be withdrawn or shall I bring it to a vote?

[KaiserDave]

I'd hold off on withdrawing this, I've been very busy IRL, so I haven't had much time to comment, but I think this could be an interesting idea.

Okay, the Speaker didn't acknowledge anything, so I'll withdraw the withdrawal request and leave this on the floor.

Fair enough, we'll hold this for now.
