Department of Impost

The Department of Impost is a department of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Energy, Economy and Finance whose charge is tax collection at the Federal level. It is the primary tax collection administration within the Terran Republic. Equivalent offices exist at the commonwealth-level, most often known as Revenue & Imposition Bureaus. Investigations for the Department are executed by the Department of Financial Probing. Its best-known tax is the Ultratax, which applies to all forms of revenue and scales exponentially so as to reach 100% at seventy six times the average revenue of the Federation. As a tax office, it is a highly unpopular government agency, leading to it being pejoratively nicknamed the Imp.
