Thread: Weekly income from taxes et al... how you all doing?
Ragnarok pulled in about 1.7million this week with just over 100 citizens.
Set at
Flat fee 1000
5% income
5% sales
shuttle port at 250 (but it keeps resetting to 100 so half of the time its at 100).
It helps that we have some of the best crafters on the server in our Mall that sell for premium prices.
our taxes are 0 and i pay for the city maintenance with my own money,
i run tailor / architect vendors and make 3 x our current city maintenance in 1 day alone from my shops profits, so were good for a while yet.
only tax we do have is 100 shuttle fee since it resets to that and i leave it
This week's maintenance will be 265,000 credits.
Citizen tax of 2000 for 88 citizens = 176,000 credits
Shuttle tax 100 (pulling in about 15,000 a day) = 105,000 credits.
So we cover ourselves. I suspect as the city gets larger we will see more people coming in and more shuttle tax income. We already had a rather large nestegg from donations early on that will cover any discrepancies.
We have raised approx 20 million credits for the city through donations from residents and from our gand opening event.
Our city was running some tests to determine income generated. We're currently:
0 income
2% sales
2% property
100c shuttle
We're raising about 15-18k per day with 57 citizens. We're currently holding a vote on our discussion boards to determine how this should be set. We expect to have monthly votes relating to this. Yeah... democracy... what's that...
hmm. I guess my aim of the city is to make it self funding with donations just going on top of that to help improve the welfare of the guild. I put in 2 million at the start and since then I have not touched the treasury and its increased significantly.
Did they lower the maintenance rates? I was expecting around 1.5 million a week (which is less now than what we are turning over) but im up to about 550k. I can only assume that the exotic gardens will cost a small fortune to run =) Either way they are going in the city.
Nabubu City on Wanderhome:
Current Maintenance: 399,500 credits
Income Tax: 1200
Property Tax: 12%
Sales Tax: 0%
Shuttle Fee: 200, but resets to 100
We have over 5 MIL in the treasury now and more in the bank. I don't trust the city bugs so I am not sticking all of the donations in the City Hall just yet, plus I'm still buying gardens.
Our current maint. rate is about 550.000 for maintenance.
Our taxes are:
2000/week income
20% housing
10% sales
We are making about 100-150k per day with 117 citizens and 262 structures.
