Constancian National Finance Commission

The Constancian National Finance Commission is a government body created in 1751 to analyze and better study the national government finances of the Imperial State of Constancia to assess how to better improve revenue, enhance efficiency, streamline management, and reduce unnecessary expenditure. It was surprisingly created by an Act of the Imperial Synkletos given Imperial Assent, instead of the usual Autokratorial Decree.

Baroness Thorgilsdottir was appointed Honorary Chair, with Mesazon Lucas Espiridon as Chairman, Imperial Senator Baron Kerularios as Vice Chairman, and Imperial Senator Jamshid-e Osman, Imperial Senator Soheila Osman, Imperial Senator Baron Wythe, and several members of the Imperial Synkletos as Commissioners.

Findings

• Alexandrium Miracle has been funding Constancian economic growth since 1744
• (Confidential: Zeed resource extraction has likewise been funding Constancian economic growth)
• This is not sustainable
• Peak Alexandrium is something that the national government should prepare for
• Constancia does not have an income tax - yet

Recommendations

• Imposition of an income tax
• Imposition of a goods and services tax or value-added tax
• Imposition of a capital gains tax
• Imposition of an estate tax
• Imposition of a land transfer tax
