The National Assembly possesses the power to tax the population to support its finances. However, the funds generated from taxation and public guilds is under the control of the entire government, that is the Corcillum, the Ministries and the Imperator. Public spending requires the presence of an ''aedile'', a magistrate with access to government funds. Neither the National Assembly nor Imperator can appropriate the treasury without one. While the ''aediles'' are vested with the authority for spending money, they lack the ''imperium'' to actually spend anything. The federal budget consists of the planned spending by the government of Caphiria. Funds allocated to provincial governments, dependent nations, government salaries, military salaries, and infrastructure maintenance are detailed in a budget written in January by the ''Mensarius Superbus'' (Supreme Financier) of the Ministry of the Treasury. All other expenditure is at the discretion of the Imperator, National Assembly, and Ministries within their respective jurisdictions. | |||
Taxes, tariffs, and duties are solely set by the National Assembly in a process similar to passing bills but without the involvement of the Senate. A modification to one of these sources of income will be proposed by one Consul then the proposal seconded by another. If a majority of the Assembly supports the change in taxes, tariffs or duties then the ''quaestores'', magistrates tasked with employing public workers to collect money owed to the government, change their protocol for the following year. | |||
