Draft
Many Guilds and Individuals go through great effort to build machines and facilities and allow other Egyptians to use them. This law shall allow them to tax users to help recoup their costs and provide additional future structures. This tax shall be called the "Owner's Tax."
Only the following structures shall be deemed eligible for an Owner's Tax, and are collectively referred to as "Taxable Structures" (or TS for short):
- Apiary
- Automatic Loom
- Brick Machine
- Brick Oven
- Deep Well
- Distaff
- Flax Gin
- Furnace (including Gyration Cell, but excluding Fleet Furnace)
- Limestone Auger
- Mine
- Quarry
- Steam Kiln
- Steam Shovel
- Steam Silt Collector
It is *not* required that owners share Taxable Structures and therefore the default "Tax Status" for all structures will be "Off." To initiate the Tax, the owner must change the Tax Status setting on the TS to "On" and may discontinue the tax at any time by changing the setting back to "Off." If set to "On," the owner may establish (or change) a Tax Rate of 1%-100% of any and all resources produced by the TS.
For Actively Worked Taxable Structures:
While the Taxable Structure's Tax Setting is "On," Taxed resources shall be set aside in the "Owner's Bin." Meanwhile the rest of the contents of the TS will be placed in the "Public Bin" retrievable by the Public, thereby allowing the user to retrieve their share of what they produce. While the TS' Tax Setting is "Off," resources shall all go to the Owner's Bin.
For Passively Accumulating Taxable Structures:
While the Taxable Structure's Tax Setting is "On," resources shall not be assigned to any bin until the TS a Take action is initiated (suggest updating the action to "Settle Shares and Take"). Then the Tax rate shall be applied to any unallocated resources, with Taxed resources going to the Owner's Bin and the rest of the resources going to the Public Bin. If the TS' Tax Setting is "Off," resources shall all go to the Owner's Bin.
At all times the contents in the Owner's Bin shall be retrievable based on the structure's basic Permission for Use setting (Elder to Initiate or Anyone for guild-owned; and Private or Public for Individually owned) and the contents of the Public Bin shall always be retrievable by the Public.
Any time resources are produced in a TS, they will be unallocated and non-retrievable until a Take action (recommend rewording in game to "Settle Shares and Take") is selected. At that point:
- Tax Rate % of the total unallocated resources (rounded down) shall be placed into the Owner's Bin
- (1 - Tax Rate) (also rounded down) of the unallocated resources shall be placed in the Public Bin
- Any remaining unallocated resources shall then have a chance to go to the Owner's Bin based on the share of the remainder, otherwise they shall go to the Public Bin.
- After the bins are updated, the Take action proceeds with the Public or Owner's Bin depending on the user's permitted access.
Example 1: A Mine has Tax Setting On and Tax Rate at 8%. It is operated and produces 5 Ore and the user decides to "Settle Shares and Take." The Public Bin would get 92% * 5 Ore = 4 Ore guaranteed (rounded down from 4.6) and the Owner's Bin would get 8% * 5 Ore = 0 Ore guaranteed (rounded down from 0.4). Then the remaining 1 Ore would have a 0.4 / 1 chance to go to the Owner's Bin. Thus in the long run the true allocations to the Public and the Owner will be very similar to the actual Tax Rate, even when applied repeatedly to small resource splits.
All Taxable Structures shall display the Tax Status and Tax Rate (if any) to those interacting with them. If there is a message communicating the production of resources, it will be revised to display the quantities produced to the Owner Bin and those produced to the Public Bin.
Final Note: Because this law is complicated enough, I have decided to exclude Raeli Ovens since they dig up a tile AND bake a tile. Determination of when to tax and whether the Public choosing to bake would impact the Owner's bin shall be left for an amendment law.
