Taxes
The newest feature added recently was Income Tax.. Unlike our previous method of income tax, this particular tax will check ALL your income, rather than just your job.
Last week in Real Life I was brought to a sad realization that not one cent of your income is free money, Every bit of it is taxed by the federal government. Things I never even thought about, Even a $0.57 Credit Card terminal transaction was TAXED! Needless to say I ended up owing taxes this year, rather than getting anything back..
Which gave me an idea.. If it happens in real life, why don't we expand our tax system in MTA:RP.
So, The new tax system will look at ALL of your income such as: Business Profit, Wage Paid, welfare income, bank interest, and any other form of income you may have even donator money. This income is taxed at the United States rate of 28%.
What is different from how we do our taxes, and how the actual government in real life does theirs? We tell you about it..
When you go work a job in real life, you get your check at the end of the week/2weeks/month and taxes have already been deducted. You dont miss money you never see. In MTA:RP we didn't think being deceitful like the actual government was good practice, so we added it to your payday to show you how much you are paying in taxes.
All money is going directly to the government faction bank. The government faction pays things like Welfare, or the /sellproperty price of your house/business, it even pays you the crush price of your car.
For the longest we have been needing to keep an eye on this faction and sometimes deposit money to it due to it getting too low. Now that it is generating its own income legitimately, we will no longer need to spawn money to further damage our economy.
I've gotten a few tickets in the past few days complaining of people getting negative paydays due to this tax. So it is important that I explain: This income tax only taxes your INCOME. If you made nothing on your paycheck, you would NOT get a negative paycheck. Because you make an income, it IS taxed however, so if you are making a negative paycheck it is because you own more Home, or more car than you can afford. This is not the Tax's fault, it is your own.
If there are any more questions or concerns that I did not address in this topic feel free to reply to this thread and I will aim to answer any questions.
