    I assume you mean like all the tariffs we put on everything imported years ago ND? I'm not sure the Prince actually exported or really produced anything and I'm not sure it would have given the gov. much income either.
    How the hell did a little place like that ever attract a tax bill of 3 mill.? A few tourists buying stuff etc. couldn't possibly be that profitable could it?

    Not sure where else this thread could have gone other than towards the obviously Politcal slant it has....

    NO POLITICAL CONTENT IN THE GENERAL FORUMS.

    I am locking this while we discuss.

    Interesting reading the 1st paragraph.
    "The founders of Australia's oldest micro-nation, the Hutt River Province in Western Australia, have been ordered to pay more than $3 million in taxes owed.

    The formerself-proclaimed sovereign Prince Leonard Casley and his son Arthur lost a Supreme Court battle against the Australian Tax Office (ATO) on Friday, which had demanded they pay income tax for the eight financial years between June 2006 and 2013."

    So in reading this it states the oldest micro- nation, so there must also be others out there., and he must have been paying his taxes prior to 2006 as they are only seeking taxes for 2006 to 2013.

    They've obviously been up to something if they owe that much, but I've no idea what. Must be expensive souvenirs there...

    Maybe applying for a visa to get in to buy souvenirs and the departure tax on leaving is very high for the tourists?
