How to read this

The stages are the stages of the 30 percent schedule. Each row asks a single question: if the same Sales Tax line were divided at that stage's municipal share instead of today's, what would the line show? Nothing here forecasts the city's economy, and nothing here changes the tax rate or the taxable base paid by consumers.

Any municipality can run the same arithmetic against its own published figures on the calculator page.
