Taxation

Taxation is an Economic Policy available in the Copper Age. It is unlocked by researching Tributes.

Taxation allows the government to set a specific percentage income tax on the population. Porcos will pay 25% of their income by default, even when this policy is not active (this is referred to as "Voluntary Contributions"). With Taxation enabled, the tax percentage rate can be modified. Taxes above 25% will lower cities' Loyalty by 1 point of loyalty per 2% taxes above 25%, while the policy is active.
