Can you provide us any additional information on how taxes in the game will work?Will we have a simple sales tax or a more complex corporate income tax?Will there be a possibility to raise different taxes in organizations regarding trades, missions, and bounty hunting?asked by Donron

TL;DRTaxes will be fairly simple: landing fees and sales or value-added tax on trades, plus organizations can set their own dues or tithes, with no UEE tax on individuals.

So, as far as the game goes the taxes will be fairly simple. The idea is that they would be on trade or consumption. So, if you land down on a planet you have to pay a landing fee and then if you buy or sell stuff then you will have to pay a sales tax or value-added tax. So, basically there will be things taxed on buying and selling and essentially landing is a kind of a tax or a fee.Then, organizations themselves will be able to have certain taxation or tithing. You could dictate: "To be part of the guild, you have to contribute 10% of your income to us." or "You have to contribute 1000 UEC a month." That will be settable on the organization side. Basically for belonging to the organization or for the things the organizations provides, you have to pay them. I guess it's kind of the same as being part of a country – that's why you pay your taxes so you have various things like armed forces and roads and stuff like that.That's kind of the idea. There won't necessarily be a tax on individuals from the UEE, there just will be UEE taxes on transactions essentially. Hopefully that makes sense.
