United Planets war taxes (1.4X)

BC, not percent?

November 9, 2006 7:26 AM from

When a United Planets ruling is made regarding the taxation of warring empires in order to provide humanitarian aid, the tax is not applied as a percentage. If for example a rate of 20% is set, the actual tax collected is 20BC not 20% of that empire's income.

So either the text for the resolution needs to be changed (to read BC instead of percent) or the calculation needs to be fixed. At the moment, the 20BC penalty for being at war is a trifling concern

I've seen this. I'm paying 10bc instead of 10%.
What would the percentage be applied to? The total income or just taxes?

same here... 2 x 15% = 30 BC

I would guess that it's supposed to apply to all income. Granted, in the late game trade won't be bringing in quite so much as taxes, but taking a slice of it for humanitarian purposes is fair enough.
