Taxation

[Cohuila Y Tejas]

Will increasing taxation increase black market?

[Obossania]

Yes, because some industries would want to avoid regulations or checks by the local revenue agencies. This therefore makes them channel their products through the "black market" to avoid paying taxes.

I'm not too sure as the "Taxation" stat is strictly income tax (I think), whereas the "Freedom from Taxation" is more wide-reaching and seems to include sales taxes, corporate taxes etc etc.

Personally I'd say the black market stat is a combination of crime, economic activity, economic freedom and recreational drug use. However, I'm sure a mod/issues editor will be along to answer your question soon.

Taxation isn't as closely linked to the size of the black market as you'd think. The deciding factor seems to be the strength of the economy to absorb any higher tax, regardless of whether the economy mainly consists of private or government and state-owned industry; as nations with a strong economy and high tax rates, capitalist or socialist, still tend to avoid a large black market.

So I have an All-consuming economy with an 18.5% tax rate. Do I need to increase taxation or economic freedom?
I am currently trying to decrease military spending as much as possible.

Increase economic freedom, by answering issues that will do that.

There are issues that specifically deal with military spending, so those will help you achieve that.

Black market does seem to scale with taxation from my experience, though it is possible to run high-tax nations with low black markets.

It's based on a variety of stats. These stats change with issues, and the stats changes are at http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/
