We currently use only the Travel (Shuttleport) Fee and the Garage Fee, the rest of the city cost is paid by donations, mostly made by the crafters and merchants.

Personally I think that they should completely remove the Income Tax and replace it with an adjustable percentage (0-5%) given to the city buy using the Skill Trainers and Mission Terminals, Cloning Facility (maybe even variable options according to the city specialisation).

The property Tax should stay as is (though I do not use it at all)

The Sales Tax should be fixed as it is normally the Merchants who benifit the most from the city facilities and who would also most likely willingly support a city (especially in a good location and/or witha shuttle port.

I'm a new mayor of smugglers run, which is an RP town that is crime infested, dirty, scummy, and complete with a casino! I plan to have a Smugglers' Strip (like the Las Vegas counterpart) and I hope to put some lottery droids out and make money from them... But for now, I just tax the hell out of my people!

.... Can a city of 35 people support a bank, two small gardens, a medium garden, 2 statues (dedicated to the retards of the town that have logged out before fixing their houses, and have yet to fix them, screwing up my plans, labeled "Raz-, the retard who screwed up the town, and "J'ake, the noob who was "going to log on Saturday""), and 4 mission terminals? Hmm.... Whats the max to the taxes again?

Taxing issues should truly be corrected asap..

And what comes to the guild/town hunts etc. just name one rl city that has to do anything like this?

Not a single one.. Since all of them get paid by various taxes.

For far too long we have had to finance our towns by contributing our own hard earned credits by donations

to the city treasury (i'm quite sure that none of us would so this in rl)..

But on the other hand, most of the players are so ruthlessly solemn in their habits that most would probably

detest anymore taxation of any sort, which is sad really..

Even in our town there are only so many contributors, and some who won't do anything for the town (they are

hardly never in the town anyways). But then to our luck we have had some new players who would very much

like to contribute but cannot since they have no means of making creds yet

Bottom line is that mayors should have the ability to choose from a large variety of taxes in order to keep the

town up and running..

We need a subscription tax! Something where, the citizens have to pay 15% more on their subscription to SWG, which goes to the mayor...

Lottery droids are very useful. We have a droid up that will pay 75% to the person's pocket and the rest will go to the city treasury. It would be nice to have an automatic feature that worked for this,
