Netropolis Players Guide - Tax

Netropolis is not as simple as it looks when you first start playing. As you go on through the game you learn more about the profits, and you learn that your company earns money every 10mins or so, and you may notice that the amount you get is inconsistant, or so it seems. This is because Taxes are imposed on your earnings. This in itself is not as simple as you may think. So with this in mind this page has been created to let you know as much as we know about the Tax system in Netro and how it has changed.

The amount you are Taxed on your monthly profits first of all depends on whether or not your company is online or offline. Now a company is counted as online not when you connect to the internet but when you have activly logged into the company and do something with it. Your company will remain online throughout the period of you playing in it. However if you just have the browser window open with the company on that screeen this will NOT keep it logged in or online as after a period of inactivity the company goes offline. As the state of the company is important to the amount of tax it will be covered below to keep it simple.

The first tax system every company goes through is simple - the more you earn the more you are taxed.

This is roughly how the system works in Netro. It is a continuous system, and this is just a selection of earnings and the taxed ammount worked out as best we could. Income £ Amount Taxed %
500 5%
1,500 20%
3,500 30%
6,000 50%
9,000 70%
10,000 + 90%

So no matter what happens you will be taxed something. So to illustrate this point we will assume that right now we have a monthly profit of £6,000. So in this case we would be taxed 50% of our £6,000 leaving us with £3,000.

Now this is where the on and offline bit comes in and where we find out where all the cash goes. If your company is online you will only be taxed once and that is by the system above. So if you are earning £6,000 and you are online you will only be taxed 50%

However when you are offline another tax is imposed on you for not being online. This tax remains the same regardless of your earnings and is set to 75% of the amount you have after the first tax. So when you are offline this is how the tax works out for you using our £6,000 example.
