The '''Taństans''' are a Coscivian ethnic group, one of the largest single ethnic groups in the Kiravian Federacy.
In Caphiria, the ''lex tributum'' (tax code), taxes, tariffs, and duties are solely set by the [[National Assembly (Caphiria)|National Assembly]] while the Office of Quaestores (within the Ministry of the Treasury) is responsible for tax collection. There are three types of Quaestores - ''supremus'', ''provincialis'', and ''oppidanus,'' which represent national, provincial and local tax jurisdictions.


==History==
Caphiria's tax system utilizes a base proportional tax on top of using its [[Stratification in Caphiria#Social Class|social stratification system]] for a class-based progressive tax rate. This tax-by-social-class does not apply for every type of tax category, of which there are 6: Income tax, corporate tax, goods and services tax, wealth/financial tax, and property tax, as well as various fees. Caphiria does not have a capital gains tax.
[History]
== Income taxes ==
According to Caphiria's tax code, there are two types of Personal Income Tax. Residential income tax is defined as "any individual (Citizen) living within the Imperium is subject to taxation on all income derived from sources within or outside the Imperium" whereas non-resident is defined as "any individual (Citizen) living abroad more than 183 days shall pay individual income tax only on the income derived or sourced from the Imperium.


==Language==
The base tax rate for residents is 6.05% and 21.46% for non-residents

Taństan Coscivian is one of the most widely-spoken Coscivian vernacular language, with a long literary tradition and a well-developed network of Taństan-medium educational institutions, newspapers, and radio stations. It is an official language of Fariva, Harma, and the Austral and Itapau Islands. However, there are far fewer monolingual speakers of Taństan Coscivian than of the other vernacular languages of commensurate size, with most Taństans being fluent in Kiravic. Most monolingual Taństan-speakers in Great Kirav hail from overseas colonies or Livensóla.

Ruricanism is the traditional faith of the Taństan people, but since the XYZth century the ethnic group has become increasingly diverse in terms of religion. Among the modern Taństans there are Archepiscopals, Mercantile Protestants, members of numerous small Taństan-initiated heterodox Christian sects, Iduans, Komarists, Sarostivists, Unitarians, Universalists, and members of urban {{wp|new religious movements}}. Ethnic Taństans who adhere to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] are commonly referred to as ''Marþonans'', though this term more properly refers to a specific subgroup of Latin-Rite Catholics Taństans, most of whom live in close-knit communities in rural Harma and in [[Avenirskara]]. Some Taństans have adopted Reformed Orthodoxy (Theophilianism). Whatever their creed, however, most Taństans maintain some sort of connexion to Ruricanism, whether in substantive syncretism with their professed religion or more through participation in Rurican rites and traditions in a non-defining or merely cultural way.

The Taństans have a stratified, hierarchical culture that places great importance on notions of social rank, propriety, and protocol.
[[Category:Taxes in Caphiria]]
 
Most Taństan marriages are endogamous, but patterns of exogamy vary according to social rank and class. Rural Taństans are the most strictly endogamous segment of the ethnic group, followed by Republican-class Taństans in metropolitan and micropolitan areas who trace their ancestry to the old yeomanry and lesser nobility of Taństedan. Taństans involved in the maritime industry, seaborne commerce, and the navy have traditionally been more open to exogamy, while many aristocratic Taństan families have intermarried with families of comparably high status from other Coscivian groups. With regard to intra-ethnic marriages, rank, class, and ancestry play a major role in determining whether a pairing is acceptable. Marriages between Taństans from very different levels of the social hierarchy are strongly discouraged, and families often have strict standards as to which bloodlines are worthy of marrying their sons and daughters. Several services, including both for-profit companies and nonprofit societies, collect information on Taństan marriage prospects in a particular region, as well as their family histories, and publish this information in annual "marriage almanacs" to help young Taństans seeking spouses. {{wp|Cousin marriage}} is traditionally accepted among the Taństans, and in fact preferred among some subgroups.

The Taństans have a strong {{wp|tea culture}} that sets them apart from other Coscivian-Kiravians, who have generally come to prefer coffee since settling in Ixnay and have developed a coffee culture adapted from [[Culture_of_Caphiria#Food_.26_Drugs|the Hekuvian]]. Taństan tea culture includes several {{wp|tea ceremony|tea-centred rituals}}, a literary canon of {{wp|Tea classics|tea classics}}, and the inclusion of tea consumption into other aspects of life, such as business meetings and hospitality customs. Like other Coscivians, the Taństans regularly visit the graves of deceased relatives, and have the unique traditions of leaving cups of tea or burning tea leaves as a grave offering.
 
==Interethnic Relations==
The Taństans are closely related to several other Coscivian ethnic groups, including the Liscans of Livensola, Ebondans, and Nūrþans, some of whom share Taństan Coscivian as their mother tongue; and more distantly to the Erasans, Lúnstans, Kagurans, and Ferúlans, with whom they share many cultural similarities.
 
Due to the widespread geographic distribution of the Taństans, historical conflicts between Taństan and non-Taństan policies, and Taństans' socio-economic status as {{wp|middleman minority|middleman minorities}} or {{wp|Market-dominant minority|market-dominant minorities}} in many areas they inhabit, there is a long and continuing history of animosity between Taństans and various other Coscivian peoples. Emnity is particularly strong between the Taństans and the [[Ĥeldican Coscivians]] and [[Valosian Coscivians]].
 
In the multiethnic metropolitan areas of Fariva, such as [[Béyasar]] and [[Norvimur]], members of the many non-Taństan groups that have immigrated to these areas over the centuries have adopted many aspects of Taństan-derived Farivan regional culture, but nonetheless maintain identities distinct from the dominant urban Taństan minority. Interethnic tension in these cities is strongly related to perceptions of social class and institutional power differentials.
 
==Distribution==
Taństans can be found throughout the Kiravian Federacy. Their traditional homeland is located in the Far Northeastern states of [[Fariva]], [[Harma]], Ostona, Serikorda, and {{wp|Rhode Island}}. Areas of newer settlement where Taństans are similarly dominant include Erinava and the Aromatic Isles. Large populations can be found in the [[Kiygrava]] (divided between the long-established Green Taństans and more recent migrants from Andela, termed Blue Taństans), much of Upper Kirav, [[Venèra]], northeastern [[Kastera]], [[Devahoma]], and Oceantropica.
 
Important cities outside of the officially Taństan-speaking states where Taństans comprise a large percentage of the population include:
 
*Þanetsar, capital of [[Devahoma]]: 36% Taństan
*Klívhoma, [[Kastera]]: 42% Taństan
*Hilarśad, [[Kiygrava]]: 56% Taństan
*Tavroa, [[Venèra]]: 31% Taństan
