B. If an amount of money less than the exact amount of tax due is deposited in the Nova Roman PayPal account, then the citizen who remitted it, or the citizen on whose behalf it was remitted, shall not have paid the full amount of tax due and shall not be classified as one of the assidui until the full amount due is remitted and received in the Nova Roman PayPal account.

C. The PayPal account which the annual tax must be remitted to will be specified by the CFO.

D. The other details required on the PayPal transaction will be specified by the CFO.

IV. The annual tax for 2765 A.U.C. is due and payable in full by May 31st of 2765 A.U.C. The amount a citizen has to pay is equal to the amount specified at section I of this Senatus consultum for the class he/she is in, which in turn is determined by the century he/she is in, as at section II of this Senatus consultum. For example if a citizen is in century 22, and century 22 is specified as in class 2 then the tax due and payable by the citizen is equal to that for class 2. The annual tax due and payable each tax period by a citizen is based on the class and century a citizen is in at a time:

A. After the enactment of this Senatus consultum

B. Between March 1st 2765 A.U.C. to December 31st 2765 A.U.C. inclusive

C. Of the actual payment of the annual tax due and payable by that citizen. Should the full amount of tax due not be paid before any recalculation of the century a citizen is in, the final amount of annual tax due and payable by that citizen shall always be the rate for the highest class and century a citizen was in during any tax period. Any payments made by a citizen before IV.A and IV.B shall not be considered payment of the annual tax and shall be treated as a donation to the general revenue of Nova Roma. For a payment of the annual tax, whether partial or full, that complies with IV.A and IV.B to be recorded as such a payment of the annual tax, then the transaction method must include clear notation that it is paid towards the annual tax due and payable by the citizen concerned.

V. If a citizen fails to pay in full the annual tax due and payable for 2765 A.U.C. by May 31st of 2765 A.U.C. then between June 1st and September 30th of 2765 A.U.C. he/she shall pay the amount due and payable as at section IV of this Senatus consultum, less any partial payments already made, plus the amount specified at section I of this Senatus consultum for class 1.

If a citizen fails to pay in full the annual tax due and payable for 2765 A.U.C. by September 30th of 2765 A.U.C. then between October 1st and October 31st of 2765 A.U.C. he/she shall pay the amount due and payable as at section IV of this Senatus consultum, less any partial payments already made, plus double the amount specified at section I of this Senatus consultum for class 1.
