Colton Tax 1844

The Colton Tax proposal was proposed by Max Colton-Gray on the 15th of September 1844 only 14 days after he was appointed Prime Minister of Sheaman was a tax deal that intended to raise the current 5% tax rate to 10%.

Background
Not long after Max Colton-Gray was appointed Prime Minister he realized the economy was in extreme debt due to the amount of money requested by the British government as a shame on the Maxifolian Independence War. The British wanted all of the money by 1860 and the country had been placed in an awful state of debt which could not be fixed easily and thus Max Colton-Gray proposed this deal to parliament in and effort to gain money.

The Deal and Results
Max's deal was this:

An increase of a regressive tax from 5% to 10%

Abolishing any type of tax except from the Income Tax and the land tax

Giving the Prime Minister complete control over taxes and who pays taxes

This first two paragraphs were accepted by every single parliament member out of the 103 but not everybody agreed on the prime Minister being given complete control over taxation and who pays for taxes with the fear that he may push taxes on high ranking people including rich people and those who work as a part of or for the government.

The results came in and 85 to 18 CR's voted in favour of the taxation deal. In the future the power of taxation controlled by the prime Minister was abolished in 1880 and restricted Prime Minister's having much of a say in taxation proposals also leading to an act that made tax changes every three years or requested in an emergency.
