Not an expert but, we've all seen this government tactic over and over again. They report a pending 25% tax increase and we panic. It is mass crowd control. They then put through a 10% increase and the voters cheer-only a 10% tax increase..
If they did things honestly and said we are utting in a 10% tax increase the uproar would be louder and might result in political changes.
I would expect there is a cap on how much they can increase taxes per year.
