# Tax System

$$
TAX={1\over10}\sim {2\over10}\*Lay\~Mining
$$

#### After signing a contract with the landowner, the building owner must pay taxes to the District.

* When a building owner claims 'Get Lay' to get $Lay 007, the tax is automatically paid.
* Landowners receive taxes at different times for each contractor because of the different claiming times.
* The tax can be set by the building owners, with a minimum of 10% to 20%, and can be used to drive competition for contracts.
* The building owner must have a contract with the landowner to get $Lay 007.
* If building owners pay more taxes at level 1 of the same tier, they'll be able to get a better deal than at level 3 of it.
* Conversely, building owners with a level 3 building of the same tier can compete for contracts from a position of strength, even if they pay less tax.
