Half the people/businesses pay that rate on gross earnings, what prevents them from cheating?

No one pays tax on their gross, they pay tax on their earning. My earnings are less than 10% of my gross, so it is a more than 10 fold change you are trying to make me swallow.

"When we joined. They have ruled several times some of our policies were illegal and fined us into submission"

I thought of that after I posted my comment. Another discussion entirely, but we should exit that organization as we walk away from the UN.

Actually, as an employee I pay taxes on my gross, but I am not a business with the expenses to deduct. So, yes as a business I agree with you. How would it change for you under the NRST? Isn't your business expenses exempt from the sales tax under the legislation?
