Taxing - by Houses

[Kambei]

Did you realized you are paying taxes when you are buying and selling cargo? Police and whole goverment structure is payd from that (in real life too).

There is no way how to stop and force someone to pay without destroying his ship... in real life those who dont pay taxes get penalty and if they continue, they are arested... this cant be done here. Only way how to do it is destroy/kill trader and that isnt called taxing but terorism, piracy, dictature in practice etc. etc. but generaly MURDER because every single kill is murder without court trial.

+ ftpwn lolol indies should ruin whole idea into 3 mil tax r dai;)

Practice in real life showed duty on comodity (tax from incoming stuff into state) as something what harm economy. That tax make comodity more expensive = less ppl can buy it = less stuff is created, less ppl have work = less ppl cand spendt money = less collected standard taxes.. More efective is increase standard tax for small % which havent negative impact on customers and cause in fact more collected money than from incomming duty.

In presence is incoming duty used for regulation of amount of incoming comodity coming into state, not for gaining money for state.

There is also another problem... there is no goverment in game. Police and Army have no right to create taxes or change them. It is not their job.
