Best Posts in Thread: Changing Town Staff (Rank) Tax (Poll Included)

We have had a lot of ideas recently regarding town staff and the town tax. I have reviewed the suggestions and am going to list here the suggested update to the staff and town tax procedure.


Current system in Towns:

Mayor (Not Taxed)
Co-Mayor (Not Taxed)
Assistant (Not Taxed) Currently can assign VIP to town members
VIP (Not Taxed)
Builder (Not Taxed)
Recruiter (Not Taxed)


Proposed:

Mayor (Taxed)
Co-Mayor (Taxed)
Assistant (Taxed)
Builder (Taxed)
Recruiter (Taxed)

VIP rank name changed to "TaxExempt" (NOT TAXED)

Doing this will allow towns to add the TaxExempt rank to any town member, staff member, etc.

Also currently asssitants can give VIP to town members, this would change to Mayor or Co-Mayor only.

Lets us know by using the Poll and giving feedback below.


Also if we do this I think we would need to keep the tax free status on surrent town staff for a set amount of time so that towns have time to give VIP(TaxExempt) rank to town staff members etc.

let me know thoughts and ideas

 

This change would give towns the option of tax or no tax for town staff.

 

I really like this idea. Kudos to the originator. Definitely leaves a lot more room for customization of taxes and so on.

 

I really do love that you are asking the players about a change before you make it.

 

for small towns it's really annoying to have to put in a few thousand daily, best for it to be automatic for small towns

 

then give yourself VIP *tada*
I only made the suggestion for it to be an "auto-deposit" of sorts

 

While this in its pure form is perfectly fine, it doesn't make as much sense to have the central mayor be taxed, as well. Co-mayor and below, for sure, because then they can choose to pay taxes or not. Assistant shouldn't be able to grant the tax-exempt rank, either.

 

this

Two things on this:
Half of Peachstreet's co-mayors were worthless scumbags who did little to nothing (when I worked there)
Give your hardworking staff VIP, problem solved

 

yee (I'm almost 100% sure that you can have two ranks at once)

 

Just quickly want to point out larger town owners (such as CluelessKlutz or Vexena) will likely make their town's high staff exempt from taxes as a reward for hard work, so if you are worried about paying a small tax to keep your town alive, consider it has more to do with your mayor's decision than the actual change to tax rules
