Restricting Direct National Taxation
Category: Free Trade | Strength: Mild | Proposer: Imperium Anglorum
Aware of the social ills possible from the reckless imposition of taxes and excises by international organisations whilst recognising that actions must be taken to prevent the World Assembly from recklessly imposing those taxes directly on governments,
Believing that a centralised funding structure is better able to handle the day to day finances of the World Assembly instead of an ad hoc system of funding,
Conceding that the World Assembly has an extremely strong role in economic freedoms as it can set worldwide policy and strongly affect prices for goods and services,
This august World Assembly, subject to pre-existing General Assembly resolutions, hereby:
- Defines, for the purposes of this resolution,
- "World Assembly" as the World Assembly, all committees, and sub-committies thereof and
- "direct national tax" as any compulsory contribution imposed upon a member nation for any unconditional status (such as GDP, national wealth, possession of properties, etc);
- Derogates from the World Assembly and reserves to each member nation the right to impose direct national taxes;
- Expands the Impartial Mediation Foundation's scope to include the mediation of financial disputes between nations and the World Assembly; and
- Urges strongly that member nations take immediate action to enforce the provisions of this resolution, to cooperate such that double taxation is minimised, and to streamline relevant tax codes.
