KhronosVII 14 Share Posted October 22, 2011 *you find a poster* From the desk of Seneschal Khronos, on behalf of King enor Greetings citizens of oren. as those of you who live in alkhazar know, the taxes have begun to be placed into affect. the suggested tax idea (by mr therving, ((mylimo7)) that he gave me) is I think the taxes are just right, though they should be increased by a little. If my calculations are correct the tax rate is 1%. Meaning that For every building at the cost of 25k will have a estimated 250$ tax at our current rates. I purpose inceasing the tax rate by 1% so being that, a 25k building will be 500 every first seed. (each week) so like other some buildings in the slums would be 300 for a 15k building. I need to look at our records to fully develope this system. 30% of the taxes will be used on pays for guards, military, and defense. 35% would be used to develope the economy of th nation. 15% would help construct, reconstruct, and demolish buildings. 10% would help neighboring Oren cities. 5% will cover the pay checks for royal workers. EXAMPLE: Say we make 30,000 from taxes... 10k would help the defense of Oren\Al'khazar. 10,500 would help support the economy (trading, buying, selling, etc.) 3,000 will go to local Oren cities and will help them flourish, defend, and trade with nations on it's own. 3,500 will help rebuild houses and districts. The last five percent will cover the pay for royal workers. before you say anything, this wasnt mine and enors idea! we just want to hear youre views on the tax system, how much we should charge, and what it should be used for, please comment here with your ideas Thank you Khronos On behalf of king enor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
char615 41 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hey! I Know! How about we abolish the whole tax system for houses and tax shops only! a house does not make income for itself un;less its a merchant or a shopkeep, The Shops may havee to pay a percentage of the profits? i dont think so... I advise you, introducing taxes Whilst Oren Struggles is a BAD idea, it will only incite rebellion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they would have to do is work for a few years, earn enough minas to by a house and then they never need to work again. In a world where no one works nothing ever gets done.

TheRedNinja 30 Share Posted October 22, 2011 unfortunaly, we need these taxes, ((because Enor cant spawn his own)) these taxes are 100% necessary now, we need more money on the royal coffers Money was only ever spawned at the beginning of the map. I rather like this tax system, but with taxes building prices will have to be lower or else you will get people leaving the city, if a shop costs 40k its 800 a week which is quite a bit. Also hire some architects and fix up the city, its still damaged from the undead attacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

char615 41 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hmm... Well i own a 25k House in Alkhazar and i think the tax for it should just be 100, i mean... alkhazar has about 40 occupied houses all with a different tax, so all in all each week you are earning a good 5k, which is a pretty good profit, also.. why not take control of some open for sale shops and start a shop called 'Kings Goods'? You will earn a pretty good profit from that... or you could go for the Tyrannical/mad leader that makes you give a percentage of your goods to the Kingdom?

Aeolwyn The Elf 139 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Or, we could implement this tax system. And have an organized system in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicWhaleShark 2488 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Taxes are needed for any government. It gets the jobs that needed to be done, well done. No one would want to be a guard if they didn't get paid and we wouldn't be able to supply for the war that many of you want so badly if we can't pay for armaments. Taxes are a necessary evil.
