I think they should do it the other way around – just to emphasize the pain involved: state the date AFTER which you are paying the government until the end of the year. So, for example, after June 24th, until the end of the year, every cent you make goes to the government. This could be brought up frequently during that whole period to remind people that they are in the middle of paying for govt and will continue to do so till the end of the year. The way it is now, nobody pays attention until they hear that they just paid, not that they are now or will have to continue to pay.
