<span id="taxation"></span>

Every Citizen is taxed a certain amount of money from their balance on a daily basis. Depending on how much you may have, you fall under a bracket to be taxed by a certain percentage. Below you can see a percentage, which represents how much you get taxed in the particular racket, two ranges of money (e.g. $x - $x) showing the money in your balance you must have to fall under this bracket and an amount of money after “max.” showing how much you can be taxed at a maximum in these brackets.

Taxes are subjected to change at any time.

=== Property Tax ===

Property tax is calculated using the following formula, where x is the amount of plots a player owns, and y is the amount they owe in taxes per day: 

y = 2.7(x - 2) + 2.87(x - 2)^2 + 0.0462(x - 2)^3


These rates only apply to regions with these following naming conventions: <code>cXXX</code>, <code>rXXX</code>, <code>canalXXX</code>, <code>iXXX</code>, and <code>cbdXXX</code>
