the taxes collected from population has dropped over 20% for no apparent reason. I thought it was a monthly abberation but it has continued. there have been no significant changes in the country. (Knights of the Round Table) KB

parsifal, take a look at your investment funds, particularly the interest payments, you'll notice that the pay out dropped by 1/3, it appears to be an unannounced changed.

previously the pay out was like 0.075% (give or take a zero,) now its 0.05%

so what caused it and how do i fix it. i was buying and selling investment stocks rather than automatic, but have not actively worked it. i just changed to auto to see if that made a difference.

Look at that... One of my pension fund lost 100T in two game years. I say: what the fuck?

Number of pensioners is dropping, other things remaining constant, I should be, um, making more, not less. The financial rationale behind this is bananas are similar to coconuts.

7-8% drop on White Giant. One country sitting there doing nothing. About 5 world months ago, a sharp plunge on the "taxes collected" graph. About 84.6B down to 78.6B, population about 72M.

that's been my experience. it seems to be righting itself. lost only 20b last month as opposed to 60b a few months ago. either they're changing something or there's a real glitch in the game.

GC were just devalued.

Therefore, it stands to reason that revenue sources are going to "adjusted" downward by any means available.

The tax income from corporations and income from enterprises depend on the total performance of corporations.

We are unable to change the tax numbers except for our possible intervention in the level of slaries. If we would want to change tax income levels, we should then change the working model of corporations, make them produce less and pay lower salaries and this in turn, will reduce payments to the countries.

none of this took place except for a general increase in base salaries over a long period that caused an increase in tax payments because tax payments are a percentage of salaries.

Over the past months, there was also a reduction is payments by enterprises to improve their profitability. changes were very small and the last one was two months ago.

If you see tax payment reductions, this is the result of peridic changes in profitability of some of your corporations. Market prices fluctuate and have a significant
