This may be a little old, I had to take a 2 week break from SWG ...
We started our taxation of the city about 4-5 weeks after fouding our city on Gorath Tatooine - taxes flowed in fine, although then we where a much smaller community our taxation of 500cr income + 10% property + 3% sales + 100cr shuttle always equaled out the maintenance of the city (that wasn't lower than now a days) ...
But now (or in the time from 6-2 weeks ago) - dispite the messages of many merchant citizens that they were spending several 100k on sales taxes allone (buying several millions of resources over vendors) the treasury is getting smaller and smaller with each city-update (although we are "only" charged 500k).
Where is this money going? Is anybody else experiencing this bug? I think I've heard several mayors on Gorath note this bug - but haven't found any specific threads here - the poll on mayors taxation here indicates that several cities on other servers are using the sales tax - you getting enough revenue from that?
I had to set the taxation back to 0% because merchants were of course no longer willing to pay these 3% for nothing ... and I don't know in what intervalls I can test sales tax (when I change it, when does it take effect? - after server down? - after city update?)

There is definitely a sales tax bug and has been for as long as I can remember.I forget where the thread is on it, but we have been unable to isolate under what conditions it is triggered.
- Sometimes the money DOES go to the treasury.
- Sometimes the money goes to the merchant themselves.
- And sometimes it just disappears into thin air.
Which happens when is anybody's guess *sigh*
