Taxation in Kyoseon

Officially, there are no taxes in Kyoseon. However, as all revenue from state-sanctioned businesses (i.e. all industries) is partially taken by the Central Bank of Kyoseon and the National Revenue Commission, they effectively make up all taxes. Even with these dues, de facto taxes in Kyoseon remain the lowest on Terra. In the constitution, program, and party doctrine of the Kyo Worker's Party, there are multiple lines stating that the party's goal is to "...deliver the great Kyo People from the oppressive shackles of the scourge that is taxation, which brutally oppresses the wage slave." The Juche Idea is extremely anti-tax, as seen in an excerpt from the Jucheist Manifesto.

"''Is taxation not the tool the bourgeois state uses sole for bourgeois interests, its' imperialist wars, and its' luxuries provided solely to itself as a class? When has an honest workingman ever confessed to enjoying taxation? And yet he is systematically oppressed into doing so. The moneyed man does not complain, for he is largely unaffected by taxes, and when hit, nonetheless profits from continued exploitation of the workingman, the revenues from which flow into his pockets like satan into the abyss. Say if we were to implement the social democratic or Metzist-Leonist lines of thought on the subject. Even if we tax those who make more, the rotten root of the problem has merely stored itself underground, continuing to perpetually grow until the class interests of capital corrupt even the most dialectical of revolutionary vanguard lines. I tell you, the Juche Idea is different in the sense that it delivers the righteous at last into the loving hands of liberation from taxation and exploitation. Indeed, our just cause is not merely to hem the root of all evil, but to rip it out and burn it so that all the kingdoms of the world may achieve socialist salvation.''"

-"What Is To Be Done?", section 8, Jucheist Manifesto

In areas under the Blue House Commission's control (e.g. Reunii), a progressive tax system coupled with wage adjustments with inflation is in place. These economic reforms have been mostly ushered in by the Labor party, but immediately after the creation of Elijang and Reunii taxation was extremely low for the rich.
