Tax on trees

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Tax on trees was a

unintended consequence of causing a mass felling of trees by Soviet farmers. This subsequently led to shortage of fruit.[citation needed
]

The idea was proposed by the Minister Arseny Zverev, and Stalin failed to foresee the problems it would produce. The tax was repealed in 1954 by Georgy Malenkov, when taxes were reduced by 60 percent for farmers.[2]
