-===== Bounty Tax =====
+==== Town Tax ====
-Bounty Tax is 10%.
+For towns, taxes work a little differently. There are 2 kinds of Town Tax:
-Bounties are taxed when the bounty is claimed
+- 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.
-===== Auction House Tax =====
+- 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.
-Auciton House Tax is 5%.

-Auciton House taxes are charged when an item is bought.

-===== Auction Tax =====
+==== Bounty Tax ====
-Auciton Tax is 5%.
+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]].

+==== Auction House Tax ====
+Each towny server has it's own auction house where players can list items to sell. When any item is bought through the Auction House, a 5% tax is taken from the total selling price and the remainder after tax is sent to the seller.

+==== Auction Tax ====
+In a similar fashion to the Auction House Tax, when any item is bought from an auction, a 5% tax is taken from the total selling price and the remainder after tax is sent to the seller.
