Hi Kids!
Did you read the title? Plato (Admins) are tweaking again. I am not completely sure what the angle is, but this may be good and this may be bad. It looks like the good is that GM's (General Managers) will no longer have to transfer gold, currency and raw materials between citizen and company accounts using the product and monetary markets. Example is if your grain company produces grain it is "in" your inventory, when your food company needs grain, it comes "out" of inventory. That is simple and simple is good!
The bad news? Well there may or may not be bad news. The details are yet to be released as Admins are still going through QA (Quality Assurance) testing of this new "feature". If there is only one set of accounts, that means the unfair double taxation of GM's is over. In my opinion, sales/VAT/import tax added to a products price and taxing the income from companies is double taxation. If not, then what do you call it? Employees only pay income tax!
If some sort of tax is worked into income from a company after the original sale/VAT/import tax has been paid, this would be a problem. If it would cause me to be unprofitable and about seventy eCitizens will be unemployed.
A Little Reading
Here are the links to eRepublik forum threads I have researche😛
In Buying Gold on the MM is an exploit? Gucio16 explains,
"The latest update that I received regarding the "unified inventory and money accounts" (thus, companies not being able to use the MM) was that the team is aiming to implement it next week. It will depend a lot of the QA Team (the project in in testing phase)."
In Donate raw directly to companies Plato says,
"The team is currently working on an "unified inventory" system (anything that your companies is producing will be placed directly in your inventory and the raw materials required by your companies will be taken directly from your inventory). As a result, the issue you have mentioned will not be valid anymore."
And in Unified Inventory Plato continues,
"This project solves several issues. Short list (not comprehensive one):
- you losing valuable employees because you forgot to add local currency to your company;
- you losing valuable employees because you forgot to add raw materials to your company;
- general managers circumventing the Income Tax (using the MM);
- not friendly to use company management system...."
and then adds this,
"Originally Posted by sampo555
"- general managers circumventing the Income Tax (using the MM);"
Plato's response
Yeah, now they don't need to use MM: they will get their income tax free without doing anything
"If you can't beat them, join them!"
In our case, make it easy for them....
Also, there's also another idea to this topic: in Beta there was a "house tax" (if you owned a house, you payed a tax to your "mayor"). The team is taking under consideration (among several ideas) to introduce a "property tax" on some (or all) products."
Well That's It
Guess we'll wait and see how this works out. Good luck everybody!
I've said my piece. What do you think?

house tax? you gotta be kidding me. but they dont allow new house companies to be opened...

Thanks for this, tdp. I personally love changes to the econ module as it is my favorite part of the game. Looking forward to a new reality soon!
Whoever has cash inside his company is probably sweating from his arse at the moment, like me. Also, that raw & production donation feature may kill the market and create a blackmarket instead. Welcome scams, end of little business owners & retailers. Voted.
helpful article is helpful
good article
Voted. Great article!
Thanks for the accessible info, but who fucking cares anymore. I suppose we'll just see what new hell this loop in the econ module roller coaster leads to.
Interesting.. I sorta mixed on this. Its good to supply resources, downside = less inventory room. Unless they are willing to give 1 extra room perm per company.
Very interesting. I just recently became a copany owner myself so Im hopeful that the results will be good.
NO INCOME TAXES FOR COMPANIES?
