Modifying the income tax rate calculator

[Cinistra]

Agree. Cinistra has had 100% tax for years, and nothing I do seems to alter this. Give it a try.

[WokaStates]

I fully approve. At last, I won't have to cut half of my budget to go from 100% to... 100%

[Marcus Aurelius X]

I absolutely approve this new income tax calculator... Even if I periodically approve tax cutting law, the percent of money taken from my people raises every day... So I like this new tool.

[Alanava]

It will cut my taxes from 100% to 99% I approve.

[Panageadom]

Well, I think there's still a flaw. I remain on 0%, despite having a state (or at least, some spending).

I would imagine, that instead of making it harder to increase taxes near 100% or decrease them near 0%, one could simply make it so that all effects of issues that include raising the tax rate once the nation has 100% or decreasing it when the nation has 0% become inapplicable. Then, at least, you could always work your way back to a real number.

[Sebytania]

It gave me 70% instead of the normal 100%. Which is nice, since I've been trying to get it lower, but that practically means cutting spending everywhere, with the only visible result being categorized as "Capitalist Paradise". This new system would actually allow players to attempt to manage their nations with a more or less mixed economy.

I remember proposing something like this waay back, though it involved the option of setting the percent it's compared to. But if that is too hard to implement, this is just great. I approve.

[Scientific socks]

Mine would go up from 14% to 20% which sounds much more likely as frankly I put the environment before people and business or the individual need to be taxed to do this.

[Poorisolation]

First off: ouch! My tax rate jumped from 4% to 13% Damn those special interests

Then again I do think it will be better especially if it makes a lot of people actually start paying attention to tax and spend policies.

[DemonReaper]

Old rate 2% new rate 12%- I don't like it. Obviously I made choices to have the taxes that low- if I could set tax rates, they would be much closer to 2 than 12

[Copenhagen Metropolis]

I've been stuck on 100% tax for years (literally) and whatever I try to do it just sits there, refusing to move.

I am in full approval of this, I'd been scratching my head over tax reductions for ages now.

How? Just how? How can you NOT know how to decrease your ITR? It's the easiest thing in the world! Send me a TG and I'll teach you how to lower your ITR, but don't take this out on all of us.

Please don't change the way taxes are calculated just because (some) people don't know how to solve issues. Please.

[Of the Quendi]

A great idea. I don't really have a lot more to say on the issue. Just full support from the Quendi

[Ariddia]

Well, it still leaves me on 100%, which is fine by me. The national bank handles all money in Ariddia; all private incomes are paid directly into it. Since that won't be messed up in the new system, it's fine with me.

[Kyuria]

About time! I dare say, every time my police force lags behind it hikes my tax rate tight back up to make my nation perfect!
*Evile dictator smile*
Now citizens won't complain so much!

[Antardon]

This new system would be much better.

[Jesoland]

Although my tax rate changes from 8% to 16%, I do support the new method.

(Moreover, I have been playing only for a week and I don't think I took decisions so tax-lowerer. In Europe, 16% flat is a ridiculously low taxation!)

Trust me; increasing your tax is very easy. You've only been here for a week, but within a month, making the right decisions, you could probably hit 100%. Doing it that quickly would probably hurt your GDP though. Doing it without hurting your GDP and specific areas of government spending will take much longer and you'd have to get to know the issues and their effects.

[Wolny Kraj]

Is there any way we could keep our current tax rates if we like them? Or a way to set your own tax rate on the settings page?

[Queensberry]

I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with the old tax calculator I've never had any qualms about it.

[Zanannia]

I like this. Thank you!

[-Bederich-]

I did not like it because my income tax would go up 6%, for no reason. I think when you answer issues the tax rate should not go up so much if you are doing something eg. You say yes to holding the olympics, the income tax rate goes up 4%. That does not make sense.

If it says "government spending", chances are it really means "more tax".

[County Bucks]

i think this is the start to a new and good idea, but we need more. We should have more issues reflecting the budget and what we want to do with it.

[Hernier]

this new income tax calculator gets a thumbs up from Hernier.

[GBeckastania]

I don't like it

[Atheists Led by Chris]

I wouldn't mind it being 95%, but would that mean it cuts government spending or just lowers the seen value?
