The micro-tax initiative aims to replace the value-added tax (VAT), the direct federal tax and the stamp duty with a micro-tax that is automatically levied on every electronic transaction. The micro-tax will relieve the burden on the lower and middle classes because the financial industry will now also contribute to the tax income. Those who have a lot of money will pay more taxes in future. The focus is on the immense transactions in computerised trade disconnected from the real economy. In addition, high costs can be saved because the tax is levied automatically, and transparency is brought into the opaque financial and tax system.
Here is all the information you need to collect signatures. Many thanks for your commitment!
Be self-confident and approach people openly. A friendly "hello" is a good start. Get straight to the point so that they know what it is all about. Be convinced of your concern, but also respect other opinions. People with some time are more receptive than people passing by. And the most important thing: Stick to it. Every signature counts!
Advice: Addressing a whole group increases efficiency, but also requires more self-confidence. A little humour never hurts.
