Dear GameMasters,

The corporation tax mechanic in my country seems to be broken. I'm pretty sure the target was set to 5%, which I this very moment increased to 75%. Rather than staying at 5% and increasing incrementally over the coming months as per usual, the current rate has been immediately changed to 75%.

This led me to explore how much tax the corporations inside have in fact been paying, in case it was set to 75% all along. What I discovered is that none of the corps in the country (my main) have been paying any corporation tax in the explorable past, be they private (my ceo or otherwise), state or public entities, or at the 5% or 75% rate. I wondered if this was because most are owned by my CEO, but Dubhthaigh-CEO-owned companies in my other countries do actually pay tax (c. 50m per corp at 5% tax).

I am kind of embarassed not to have noticed the total lack of corporation tax income in my main until now, although there is a possibility it was at 0% to begin with. However, in that case the problem that it changed to 75% immediately remains, and I have a sneaking suspicion I will not be collecting 75% corporation tax next month. If I do then hurrah for me, but there is still a problem that needs to be looked at.

Country: Chaos I
World: Little Upsilon.

Please take a look.

All the best,
Dub.

My dividend income is now 0. But I understand this could be because of the massive buggy change in tax level?

Not sure what those shots show Dub.
I too have noticed my divi drop to 0 for no apparent reason.
