[Thritystone]

A
Bill
To exempt non-citizens from taxation
​

1 - Short Title​

(1) This Act may be cited as the "Non-Citizen Tax Exemption Act."
(2) This Act is sponsored by Thritystone, and co-sponsored by

2 - Reasons​

(1) It is a foundational principle of just government, affirmed since the Magna Carta and inherited through the Westminster tradition, that no person shall be taxed without representation.

(2) Non-citizens of the Kingdom of Alexandria — including residents and tourists — do not hold voting rights for members of Parliament and therefore lack democratic representation in decisions concerning taxation.

(3) To impose a personal balance tax on individuals who do not enjoy the franchise undermines the fairness, legitimacy, and consent-based nature of Alexandrian governance.

(4) Parliament therefore affirms that taxation powers should be exercised only upon those with political representation in the legislature, and seeks to codify this principle in law.
