Taxes! The demand to be taxed is upon us!

How about taxes??? (Once or twice a year maybe)
Taxes to be payed with the cash the player has accumulated.
The more cash the player, the more taxes to be payed.
That way newer players can compete better with the bigger ones.

Like in:
Amount of cash in billions equals the percentage of tax to pay,
so...
with 100 billion or more the player loses all the cash,
with 10 billion 10% is to be payed
with 1 billion 1% is to be payed
with less than that no taxes (or a symbolical tax) are to be payed - the player gets a tax refund instead, paid from the taxes of the big players

Off course, the big player would want to invest all their cash everytime just before it

We already pay taxes. Every time you produce something you pay a Production Fee. That fee covers everything from wages to taxes and building repaires to insurance and everything else.

what he suggested was taxing the money you have. you got the same thing in reall life, where you pay property tax.

and ye, I myself think it would be great to have such a thing, which would especially hurt the speculants with lot of cash and little production.

Kapilands is not socialist it is a dictatorship.

Whatever Upjers wants to do it does and we have no say about it.

The idea, like in real life, is a horrible one. Pay those for doing little or nothing while taking away from people who put so much into their life. (May I remind you of how many accounts under 1B in FA that are inactive. You would be paying people who don't even play anymore. How would that help the game or Upjers?)

As one of the small players who would supposedly benifit from this.... I still hate the idea. As already said, taxes are already in there with production costs... so is subsidised industries with the competitions.

As a small player I am looking for ways to be profitable, I am NOT looking for handouts.

that would be a horrible thing to put in a game

I can say, that if this happens, the players with lots of money would start buying everything in the market (stones, power, wood, steel and water) what would lead to a super inflation that in a near future would be far away worst for the kapilands economy (just imagine everybody with less than 1 bill of cash -> coins price would drop -> players that usually buy coins (with real money) for VIP and to sell to others, only buy coins for themselves -> severall VIP players would start selling their buildings to become normal -> less coins, no more profit for upjers -> they shutdown the servers -> no more kapilands). GREAT IDEA INDEED

I doubt that would happen. More likely that most would simply stop playing as in 'no point'.... same end result though, dead game!

100billion or more. lost all your money!!! Hell yeah i would love that!!! I may have worked my arse off but dont worry Im ready to loose it all!!! lol

Nah production costs= tax enough for me XD

A tax qwould be ok... but not in mutiples of 10 :S 1, 10, 100 %??? Nah not in a million years. Maybe once a week a 0.5% tax on everyones money to make sure no accounts are there with a lod of cash sitting there inactive?

That would be good.

Mainly for people who have lots of FA and not much cash.

tax on earning as in paye tax (UK).

A players earnings over a period (say one month) could be calculated and if its over a certain amount they could be taxed.

This tax could then be used to improve the game. Not sure how this could be rolled out though.

What good with that do? Taxes go to the military, roads, public services(Police, Schools, Medical, etc.). Kapilands doesn't have crime, wars or fires. Schools, Kindergardens, are having everything donated to them by players. (Same goes for Hospitals, Nursings homes and Homeless shelters.)

Well developers could introduce more dimentions to the games a tax could help make the game more fair and could allow for new additions.

more powerful companies could incur the same tax as smaller companies in relation to earnings.

Perhaps funds that protect players from scams and bankruptcy and so on.
