Hey all-

I have an air transport company, Louth Air Transport on WG, country Grand State of Basilka. It has posted profits for operations and whatnot at 11b has a net loss over 4b. While taxes and things could hit the bottom line (30%), over 100% loss is hard to understand. My other air transports aren't hurting like this. Any ideas?

How much has it paid out? If it paid high profit payouts that will hit The net.

So, first of all it's not 'Grand State of Basilka' but 'The Grand State of Basilka.

Second: Public Corps every now and then do a Profit-Payout to their Share-Holders, seems to be about 15B last year. This is counted toward the Net-Profit of that year for that specific corp. And as Long as the Net-Profit is neg. the value of the corp falls. Dont worry, next year it will go up again.

Third: There is a 'Problems' and 'Help' Forum, please use it

You probably changed the tax percentage during that year.

Taxes are recomputed with a back service if you change the percentage.
When you increase, you can have a one time charge for the last couple of months.

when you reduce, you will see the opposite. No taxes for a prolonged period until the payments reach the new tax level.

We should probably get rid of this feature as it seems difficult to understand and dates from the "puristic" period when too much effort was done to create a true simulation. We should computing taxes by the month.
