Work Tax, benefiting the rich and harming the poor
•
by newmansaveme
You may have noticed recently that you have to pay increasing amounts to work as manager. This is a result of the high average wage. Unfortunately for the players of Erepublik, these wages have disappeared, and nearly everyone is being payed wages half the price of the stated average wage.
The average wage is calculated on an average of the last 30 day period. Unfortunately this has some bad consequences. Since working as a manager incurs you costs, you can lose a great sum just working. This is a result of the 2% tax. The current average wage is: Average 133.98 GBP As of Today. Since Work tax is calculated for Work as manager at 2% * average wage, the work tax for working in just one company is: 2.68 GBP. This is a large number especially for people who have a large number of low-level companies. However for people who have high-level companies e.g. Q7 factories etc. they don't lose that much because they produce much more valuable stuff. People with cheap Raw material companies are also affected. The result is that the high Work Tax benefits the rich and harms the poor, which in Erepublik is the low-level players. People who buy gold are less affected because they can easily get high level Raw-materials companies and Factories.
To conclude I believe that Work Tax should be reduced to help the Lower-level population of the UK. This would support us because the high average wage at the moment is annoying a lot of people. At least for now the congress should vote too lower tax rates. Unfortunately Congress is filled with higher level players who will benefit from keeping the tax high. In any case I believe that reducing the work tax rate would benefit the economy of the EUK.
The EUK government has made tremendous amounts of money as we have seen the estimated average wage skyrocket but the real average wage going nowhere. The increase in Work Tax has increased the price of Wep Raw material because many people don't hire employees for that job.
The GBDP is committed to lowering work tax, please vote for it in the next Congressional elections. Thank you!

GBDP need to be in the top 5 in order to run Congressman...
@Wayne that"s quite true.If GBDP would be in Congrees than should run for Congress,they should send 1 member to any of TOP 5 Parties.
They seem to attract the most clueless of players. It's adorable.
@newmansaveme another awsome article.As concern of lowering Work Tax from 2% to 1% it will be proposed by congressmember Massacar and I"ve compleatelly agree with his proposal.Also current MoF already brougth their stance about lower Work Tax and have been agreed with this issue.
I"ll point my view about this issue: Work Tax should remain as it is now.Why?.Becouse Bank of England and National Treasury are almoust empty.We will bw faceing with posssible bankropt if Work Tax will be lower.Yes I"ve agreee that young players will stop playing and working for low wage as they seek higher,but think about if eUK don"t have anymore resources for defending herself,than what will be?.
Voted,subed.Hope you"ll be great jurnalist as well as future great politician and some day Prime Minister or CP and than you"ll all understand.Greeting from Alexander-Alex Popovic Prime Minister of eUK.
we need to stop some of the unnesscary MPP's such as with Ukraine and Bulgaria. Both have only one region. They have their own problems and aren't particularly strong. We could save a lot by not renewing MPP's
As concerneid of MPP-s yes it"s already spent great deal of money.Also MPP with Ukraine isn"t neccessaty it need,Ukrain want to be part of SIRIUS aliance and already entered into it,and yes Ukrain is still weak and been PTOed bur with help from Sirius,eUKrain will be strong.Also we arranged MPP with Latvia and Estonia.Personnaly don"t see any use of them as both eCountries are very weak.The same is with Bulgaria.Bulgaria need us not we needn"t her.One more thing
Bulgaria had been under occupation of France and ask for help either from Poland or from us.
Work tax is based on average wages which is currently around £133 what exactly is congress spending it on? Or are you waiting for the next crooked CP to steal it? I do hope you've ensured your cut of the profits from the nexr theft.
@Sexagenarian first of all I"ve voted for increaseing at the first and I"ve voted too for lowering Work Tax.Stealing weren"t subject in Congress,also I am not waiting anything from the next crooked CP to steal it.Also I must ensure that I haven"t and would not ever ask my cut of the profits from the next theft.In fact in the first place this increasing of Work Tax is to prevent any future CP to steal the money.The money from tax will go directly to the Bank of Englan and Treasury.Our Treasury would be empty if this Work Tax will be low.Do I need to remind you that eUK would bankrupt if Work Tax remain on 1%
Work tax is based on average wages, you've obviously not noticed the 300% increase, I see you'd rather take the extra from the average citizen.
Money in the treasury has no effect on the average citizen when are taxes going to be used to benefit them?
Congress may say that it isn't involved in the thefts but building the balances makes a great incentive and it looks like this is the sole purpose of congress.
Before you bleat your innocence I would like to share a quotation. "If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, sounds like a duck then it is a duck"
Thank you guys. Now just please Sub! TY
If you joined UKPP then you could get into Congress and actually vote for this with another 20% of Congress wiuth UKPP backing you up.
We are the party who keep making votes to reduce this 🙂
seriously stop trying to poach GBDP members. havent you got someone else to troll?
Malkaiser I love this party. Please love your party. GBDP does not appreciate your negativeness.
I'm just pointing out that you can do EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS you are doing now AND get into Congress to do the changes you want.
For free. No strings attached.
Doesn't have to be UKPP, just mentioning it because we have the same policy. If another party shared a policy I'd suggest them too. Every party is crying out for active guys like yourself to lead them.
"Since Work tax is calculated for Work as manager at 2% * average wage, the work tax for working in just one company is: 2.68 GBP. This is a large number especially for people who have a large number of low-level companies."
Why would someone have a large number of low level companies? In terms of production, you should have one weapon factory and one food factory and be slowly increasing their level. It is clearly uneconomical to have multiple factories. In terms of raw materials, you should be saving up a couple of Super Soldier medals to get an Aluminium mine at the very minimum. There are plenty of loans available....
Your headline is slightly misleading. For the older "richer" players, reducing the work tax would benefit us more than what it would for the poor.
For someone whose account is only a week old, you seem to speak as if you have been around for a longer period of time....
