I`m no expert but I think the way the law should be read is the following.
If you have E 400, then the first hundred are taxed by 10%, the second hundred are taxed by 20% and the rest is taxed by 25%. So the overoll taxes would be:
-- 100*10%+100*20%+200*25%= 10+20+50 = 80
I you taxed the whole four hundred by 25% that would be 100.
Again, I`m no expert, and I`m not sure if what I am pointing out is correct, but I think it is.
Sincerely,
Indeed the Cardinal is correct. I seem to be coming to realise I should have spent more time drafting that paticular act....
Pete there is nothing wrong with the act. If I am not mistaken many laws in the RW are like that. It just needs to be explained because it can be read differently.
Sincerely,
Perhaps a court decision regarding all future interpretations?
