2. Pridie Kalendas Maias dies ultima in qua vectigalia sine poena pendantur constituta est. Licet vectigalia pendere post illam diem, sed poena dimidia parte (quinquaginta[L]percento) debebitur. Exempli gratia, necesse est ut civis qui ante diem ultimam thaleros duodecim ($XII) debeat, postquam thaleros duodeviginti ($XVIII) pendant.

   (Deadline for remittance of taxes is the last day of April. Taxes may be remitted after that date, with a penalty of an extra 50%. For example, a citizen who owes 12.00 would need to pay 18.00 after the deadline.)

3. Vnicuique qui/quae provinciae gubernator est exemplar huius edicti ad provinciae indices (ubi exstant) transmittendum est. Vnicuique traductori Novae Romae publico hunc edictum in linguam/linguas quarum rationaem reddere debet vertendum. Edicti huius appendix consilium civibus continet, et cum edicto semetipso transmitti/verti debeat.

   (Each provincial governor is required to copy this edict to their provincial lists (where applicable). Each of Nova Roma's official Interpreters is required to translate this edict into the language(s) for which they are responsible. The appendix to this edictum contains advice to citizens and should be forwarded/translated with the main document.)

Hoc edictum statim valet

(This edictum is effective immediately.)

Taxes may be paid in the following ways:

1. Citizens remitting their taxes in US dollars may send a check, money order or equivalent form of payment made payable to NOVA ROMA by mail to this address:

   Nova Roma
   P.O. Box 1897
   Wells, ME
   U.S.A. 04090

   NB:Those outside the US will need to obtain and send an International Money Order made out in U.S. dollars to the above address. Individual cheques in various currencies are unfortunately not acceptable to send by postal method as the checks are quickly devalued by the multiple bank charges to convert these to U.S. currency.

2. Some Provincial Governors will choose to arrange a central point in their provincia to which their citizens may remit taxes so that the province will only need to make a single payment to the central treasury. Citizens are encouraged to contact their Governor to determine whether or not such an arrangement will be made. Provincial Governors who follow the practice may choose to retain one-half of the taxes collected in their Province for local use according to the local budgets they have prepared. This arrangement has the advantage of avoiding fees to have funds for local expenditures transmitted back to the Province.

3. All citizens capable of so doing may remit their taxes through our donations page, which uses PayPal.

4. Please contact the Consul or Consular Quaestor at the addresses below if you are a citizen residing in an area for which a tax rate has not been calculated, and one shall be issued to you.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT ITEM: All citizens should be sure to include their FULL Roman name with their tax payment. For those who are remitting for more than one citizen, ie Governors, a complete list of the FULL names of those citizens for whom taxes are being remitted is essential. Some Gentes have many Familiae and if one does not include his cognomen with his remittance, what could result potentially is the wrong citizen being credited for your tax payment. If possible please try to remember your citizen number, which is included in your profile in the Album Civium on the Nova Roma website. This would be an added help in ensuring you are properly credited.

Rates may differ from last year, and it some areas they are clearly less. They were recalculated using the Total Gross Domestic Products Per Capitae of 2005 (Jan. 2006 update) of all the countries above, as per the prevailing Senatus Consultum above. Any rounding off in final calculations herein has been confined to the nearest 0.05. Future conversions to USD through PayPal or lending institutions are easily resolved by use of conversion factors for various currencies, and so more liberal rounding of tax fees was not pursued.
