Tax Tribulations
So a bunch of people are supposed to come by all the apartments in Talponia on Wednesday to inspect the rooms for tax purposes. Apparently, in Italy your taxes are determined by such things as how many bathrooms and windows you have in your house. I think the “rationale” is that the more windows and bathrooms you have, the richer you are, and therefore the more tax you can afford to pay.
I’m rather speechless in the face of such powerful logic, but I’ll say this much: I feel sorry for anyone with a greenhouse!
