Treasury Revenue

Treasury revenue has two sources. These are taxes on estates and trade duties. Each estate pays its own percentage of earnings to the treasury, according to the tax law. The tax rate affects the wealth of the estate. Trade duties are levied separately on import and export of goods that a country trades on the international market. The export duty ends up in the treasury of the country that sold the goods, and the import duty flows into the treasury of the country who bought the goods. There are also minor one-time items of income, such as country entry fees charged to migrants.

Gameplay Tips

 * You cannot collect a lot of taxes from the poor. Sometimes it makes sense to let people get wealthy and then impose high taxes.
 * If the treasury receives enough revenue, you can persuade the government to reduce taxes for some estates to increase their wealth and strengthen support of the ruling party
 * Trade duties add to the treasury, but burden the development of trade and industries, as well as negatively affect support of the ruling party. The benefit should be measured against the costs.
