    Several countries use a dayfine system, we in Sweden have used dayfines since 1931, Finland since 1921, Germany since 1969, There are a few more countries using the system, but I could not quickly find any historical data about them.

    Dayfines are great and should be used globaly.

      Just out of curiosity, how does that work for foreigners, they would only be able to tell the income of citizens would they not?

        A valid question, I unfortunately does not have an absolute answer as I don’t know, but we can speculate…

        There are only two ways I could see this done.

        1. Ask the foreigner’s government for documentation on the subject.

        2. Ask the individual in question for proof of their income.
