+For towns, taxes work a little differently. There are 2 kinds of Town Tax:
-Auciton House Tax is 5%.
+- Citizen Tax- This is a daily tax that is applied to all residents of a town. The amount is specified by the mayor. This may be a flat number, a percentage of a player's balance, or there may be no citizen tax at all. Most towns opt for the last option. Note: This is the only tax that does not go to the server. Citizen Tax is deposited into the town balance.
-Auciton House taxes are charged when an item is bought.
+- Plot Tax- This is the amount the server charges town each day. It is based on the amount of land a town has claimed. The charge is $100 per plot per day.

+==== Bounty Tax ====
+Players can choose to set up bounties on other players. When a player with a bounty is slain, the cumulated bounty total minus the bounty tax is sent the the player who killed them. Bounty tax is 10% of the total bounty and is charged only when the player is killed and the bounty is awarded. For more info on bounties, see the [[:towny:faq:bounties|Bounties Page]].
