| {{Warning|Economy is not implemented for new-style cities yet, so all money minted is accessible to the player immediately. There is no citizen or government accounts currently.}}

| Each empire that has an [[Empire_Capital_City|empire capital city]] maintains a treasury. The treasury grows through taxation. The treasury shrinks by paying out rewards and by conducting research and development. An empire with no capital city does not accumulate a treasury.
| | * The [[Damage_Type|damage type]] |
| | |
| The treasury is reported as a '''Government Account''' balance in the [[City_Report|city report]] of each [[city]] that has a [[bank]]. Income and expenses of the treasury are shown on the city report.
| |
| | |
| ==Tax Types==
| |
| Taxes are set by the emperor using the [[Governance]] (F12) window's ''Taxes'' tab. Three kinds of taxes can be set.
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| ! Income tax
| |
| | Collected on all income earned by [[citizen]]s employed in empire [[cities]]. Each employed citizen earns 25¢ per city report period. Income tax is also collected on rewards paid out to [[avatar]]s, at the time the debt is redeemed.
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Sales tax
| |
| | Collected periodically from every [[city]] based on the income spent by its population. Sales tax is also collected on [[commodity]] sell transactions, such as when an [[avatar]] sells items at the [[broker]] or when an avatar sells cargo to cities or other avatars.
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Fleet tax
| |
| | Collected when cargo is sold from a fleet [[spacecraft]]. Fleet spacecraft are manufactured automatically at [[Spacecraft_Factory|spacecraft factories]]. Company-owned spacecraft are not subject to fleet tax. | |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ===Income Tax Penalty===
| |
| The higher the '''Income Tax''' the less citizens want to work. Each time a citizen is about to fetch commodities, run a manufacturing job, or do construction work, the citizen takes a moment to decide if working is worth its time. | |
| | |
| This is calculated simply by the income tax percentage. If the income tax is 10%, there is a 10% chance a job won't be run. This means that if the income tax is 50%, all manufacturing jobs may only be run every second time, cutting all production in half.
| |
| | |
| ==Tribute==
| |
| Taxes accumulate in the [[city]] coffers. Once per day at 0:00 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time UTC], half of each city's '''Government Account''' is transferred to either the [[sector]]'s [[Capital_City|capital city]] or the empire capital city.
| |
| | |
| See the [[Capital City]] page for more information.
| |
| | |
| ===Empire Tribute===
| |
| If the [[empire]] is a vassal or an ally of another empire, a portion of the empire capital city's government account may be sent to the overload or ally.
| |
| | |
| See the [[Political Stance]] page for information on taxing other empires.
| |
| | |
| ==Pillaging==
| |
| When a [[city]] is captured, the daily tax revenues that have accumulated and the private funds of the local citizens are split between the conquering [[avatar]]s present in the city.
| |
| | |
| For more information, see the [[City Conquest]] page.
| |
| | |
| ==Government Debt==
| |
| [[file:EmpireRewards.png|thumb|right|Empire rewards window.]] | |
| Rewards are established by the emperor. Many different rewards may be posted. These are listed on the [[Governance]] (F12) window's ''Rewards'' tab.
| |
| | |
| As members of an empire earn rewards, a debt is accrued to them by their empire. This debt is collected by visiting a [[bank]] that is owned by the empire. There the debt can be redeemed for [[cronodollar]]s if the bank has the money in its government account. Income tax is collected off debt when it is redeemed, at the current income tax rate of the empire.
