Hiya

My tax system is as below.  I have an associated spreadsheet, which I think is still in the files section (http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/8BRHSjlRdRp8iJsNN1IlU94362mk1Bzj12wuzydXK3h3XD_sV3sdG07Jb-JpCe7B6r8quHRASbwxl5c1INvvbm6exHxMLJSibZo/RKC%20Sims%20Record%20Template.xls - one of the pages shows my tax formulas)

I use Pescado’s moneyorder hack (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7.0.html )to transfer the taxes around, but it only works in round numbers, hence my spreadsheet roundsup for me!

Tax calculation taken as total worth (including any community lots owned) at the end of Sunday night.  Payable from Monday morning.  I buy each family the appropriate amount of moneyorders, then add the correct amount of funds and select the person going to pay.  Then depending on how much money they have, pay as many of these as possible.  Some families do not finish paying their taxes until Thursday or Friday, as they have to raise the money.

Peasants – 1% to each Merchant household; 5% to each Noble; 20% to each Royal

Merchants – 5% to each Noble; 15% to each Royal

Nobles – 10% to each Royal; 1% to Church

Royal – 10% to Church; 1% to Army

Church – 1% to each Peasant

Army – 1% to Church for each injured soldier residing there; 1% to each Army Widow

Science/Witch – 0% to everyone J ; 2^nd Science household pays 5% to 1^st

I’m actually considering changing the system to having Peasants and Merchants associated with specific Nobles, as my hood is getting so big that the merchants are the ones struggling to pay every noble. (Now having 9 Peasant households, 7 Merchant, 5 Noble and 2 Royals)
