CORPORATE TAXATION...
I picked 5%.
Money doesn't really matter much to me yet... I've spent about 5 mil, got 5.5mil lying around. 5% won't even be noticed. Plus, if we recruit, other people should give us money.
I figure we'll all give voluntarily anyways, so the 5% just makes it non-thinking.

It's not me, it's someone else.
I voted 10%. Turns out not all your bounties are taxed. Only some of the bigger ships. Not sure what the criteria is. Also, you don't get taxed on mission bonus. So, not all income is taxed. So, 5% may only be like 2-3% when all is said and done.
But I agree, most things will be 'fund drive' type things. But the tax makes it automatic and the fund drives won't be quite as needy.
But at the same time, percentage could be based on goals. Have none, no tax. Have big ones, big tax.

Well hell. Best I can tell, you don't even get taxed when selling things. Sold 290k worth of a resource and no entry in the journal as far as me depositing anything. Wonder if there are taxation settings somewhere that will allow that stuff to be taxed. . . if we choose. But as it stands, the only thing taxed are higher bounties and mission base pay.
Dude, you sound like a Democrat.So, 5% may only be like 2-3% when all is said and done.
Anyway, even if it's an option I'd recommend against taxing market sales. It looks like 10% may be a good profit on a trade run if someone goes into that line, and chopping off 5% would really make that a difficult way to make a living.

My view is, we (well some of us), are talking about buying our own space station and claiming chunks of space. Minimum to get started with a space station is 25 billion. That doesn't even include any of the good stuff that make having a space station fun. And it doesn't include any defenses so it doesn't get blowed up or taken over or whatever happens when there's no defenses.
So, when we are looking at over 25 BILLION in start up costs, 10% doesn't seem like that much to me. We'll tax 10% and then we'll still all have to dump millions and billions into the pot to cover the costs. And again, the only thing that gets taxed is bounties over 35k and mission pay. Not bonuses. Not sales of items/resources, or anything else. So, the areas where you make the most money (item sales) isn't even touched. Personally, I don't see what the big deal would be.
And plus, I'm not trying to tax to support the poor (like a democrat). It's so the guild can grow and gain power and stuff. Are you suggesting that us richer players should stop giving the newbs free stuff while getting started so as not to be democrats!?
And finally, I've already dropped 1.7 million into this venture. So. . . I don't have a point. Just wanted everyone to know that.

After a couple days to think about it, I voting for 10% taxation now. If we ever want anything remotely cool, we need UN scandal-sized amounts of cash. I'm willing to tithe.

Dont make our team pay for your inadeqeuacies.That's basically where I'm at. I want the big things.After a couple days to think about it, I voting for 10% taxation now. If we ever want anything remotely cool, we need UN scandal-sized amounts of cash. I'm willing to tithe.

Cool. In that case, if it sounds like a good idea, I'll donate one of my auction slots to the corporation, and list some of the "junk" resources we've been gathering up for sale at a fair market price (and be sure to check that box). Unless, of course, we actually have a use in mind for 180,000 units of Thorawhosit and 60,000 units of Pyrowhatsit?
