-There are 2 kinds of Town Tax:
+For towns, taxes work a little differently. There are 2 kinds of Town Tax:
-- Tax for town citizens. This is controlled by the town mayor and can be a set amount or a percentage of the players balance. Tax amounts show in town info. Use /t (townname) to see town info. Towns charge Tax daily.
+- 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.
-- Tax for Town Plots. This is an amount the server charges towns based on how many plots the town has claimed. The charge is $10 per plot per day.
+- 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.
