The National Fiscal Realignment and Growth Act of 2018
· Passed 31 May 2018
Rationale
This budget introduces a progressive taxation model aligned with global peer averages to eliminate our structural deficit and protect Javosca's AAA credit rating. By providing a major tax break to low earners, we support our core working demographics, while the redirected funds into infrastructure will directly combat unemployment and create a sustainable surplus to fund upcoming healthcare and educational modernizations.
Figures show the previous budget where they changed the new value.
