Thread: Major Tax issues... shuttle tax possibly broken.. etc
Our city is on Dantooine... near the crystal caves. Here is an example of the situation.
We currently have a 100c tax on the shuttle. This brings the total one way cost of travel to our city to 400c. If you fly into one of the StarPorts and purchase a ticket to our city we get ZERO credits to the city, even though the ticket price is 400c. The ENTIRE 400c price goes to the black-hole.
The only time the 100c tax works is when people depart from our city. Very sh***y.
Secondly: Why does the cloning center not give any of its revenue to the city? As a city our weekly cost is upwards of 200k. If we did property tax only that's approximately 135% tax (75% being the limit?). If we do sales tax only that's about 20% (not gonna happen)... If we do travel cost... that's 800c tax per ticket (then we'd probably drive people away). So lets mix these: 250c travel, 10% sales, 75% property. That's just outrageous.
I propose that at least half of the cloning and insurance cost be given to the city. I also propose that ASAP the travel tax problem be fixed.
Thanks.
