Bleeding enterprise tax bug? (Little Upsilon)

The bug's fixed, but the impact was significantly higher than $50B.
Space Fox on LU was up at -561.98B SC$ when I measured it yesterday. It's now down to -148.35B SC$, which is around what it used to be before the spike. Since there's no graph for enterprise tax, and since enterprise tax is lumped together with moves and closings it's hard for us to keep track of what's going on........

Discussion about corp profitbility should be taken to another thread. My bug report as nothing to do with corp strats, but with enterprise tax.

I am happy the problem is solved but I remain confused about the numbers mentioned.
the tax as it is calculated came to a level of 33% of profits but is now down to the previous levels.
however, there is a threashhold of 20B that is subtracted from the amount.

so I am surprises that the amount could be higher than the profit.

maybe it is one of the other components:
corporations bought?

And thus the bug, Tom.

In my case in just one month:
115 billion gross profit
268 billion paid in Enterprise Tax.

No corporations built, moved, or closed (100% centainty) that would accout for the higher cost.

Indeed Linebacker, this was the case for me aswell.

Had 450-500b profit(total profts from corps), got taxed above 1T (enterprise tax)(see earlier posts). Obviously this cannot been intended, thus i posted this thread.
Did not buy any corps or anything (is at 750corp limit).

Enterprise tax last month:
Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax -216.67B SC$

Total Profit 428.58B SC$

Tax is now above 50% of profit. If this intended, fine, its survivable but expensive.

However, all we big CEO was taxed above "intended" levels, it was a bug. Please accept this so it aint repeated.

Also, since we was robbed cause of a bug, please restore us. Cant be that hard for GM to see what's been taxed away, and give the difference of bug tax and "real tax" back. In my case my CEO had more than 6 T cash when this began, now -1T. Only action during this bug was 'digital tears'.

Tom, please make sure this aint repeated, and you find out why this occured. I understand you are confused, but facts were that enterprise tax was out of control and was several 100% above profits, thus we was robbed.

Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax -258.07B SC$

Total Profit 528.46B SC$

Tax in % = ~49 %

"the tax as it is calculated came to a level of 33% of profits but is now down to the previous levels. "
Wouldent seem to be the case, it more than 33% still. And no, havent given any orders what so ever in that corp all this week.

(im using NiAi Starrepublic Corp for all reporting)

Atleast its not above profits atm (as it was with the bug).

W3C, are you ppl keeping an eye on this?

Why would "Enterprise Tax" ever be grouped into the same "line item" as "Corporations bought, closed or moved"?

Those two have almost nothing in common (aside from being costs, basically) and serves to "hide" the real value of the tax in the financial statement.

Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax -402.59B SC$

Total Profit 973.24B SC$

Taxrate in %: ~41.3%

CC, i do agree. Enterprise tax ought to be a seperate post. When this tax was first introduced it might been wise
(for w3C) to hide it. But now its just plain silly.

Would anyone else with big CEO please post there enterprise tax and ratio, so when can see if this is the norm. All that info is public so dont feel scared ;)

You answered your own question CP.

I don't have any huge enterprise paying more than 40% tax (both of them pay about 25% tax now), but at least I can confirm that something was wrong with "Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax" a couple of days ago. For my eneterprises the tax was close to 150% and the effects from it can still be seen, very clearly, on the cash graphs. This occured from December 2868 to May 2869, GRT (Golden Rainbow Time). And no, I did not build or move any corporations during those 6 months.

for my enterprise my actual cash dropped from ~825B to ~300B over 5 months
in the month I posted about above my income was 91B and my enterprise tax was ~160B

Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax -249.19B SC$

Total Profit 563.31B SC$

Enterprise tax in %:~44.2%

Over 44%, ELEVEN% more than 33% (33% more han 33% ;)) It would seem to be trend that big CEO will be heavily taxed.

W3C, is this working as intended?

Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax -295.64B SC$

Total Profit 618.78B SC$

Enterprise tax in %:~47,7%

Seems to be a steady trend of being near 45% every month.

Can someone give a figure based on today's numbers.
These numbers are always averaged, and it takes time to stabilize.

(total could be 2 times current total + new number for this month) divided by three.
it is used in many functions to dampen large changes.

So by now, it should be lower than 30% in all cases.

Please give me an example where it is 30%+ and no corporations bought or sold and we will immediately look into it and fix it.

for small enterprises, it should be zero.

we need world and enterprise name to find it.

Corporations bought, closed or moved and Enterprise Tax -129.03B SC$

Total Profit 213.99B SC$

Enterprise tax in %:~60%

Tom, you need any more numbers im not posting? Would you plese take a look in this CEO? it would seem it always sticks to the high end, maybe because of one of those dampening functions.

All of today, as you can see my earlier posts today, have been over 40% (44%, 47,7% and 60%). This 60% last month seems to be suffering from averanging, but always to a higher number than 30%

This CEO havent been doing any order for a week now, so only factor is enterprise tax.

So please Tom, take a look on NiAi StarRepublic Corp on LU.

My CEO seems to be suffering from this high enterprise tax, but others not so much. Looking over some other CEOs, they pay 100b less for about same numbers.

Does anyone else getting this near 50% enterprise tax?

It would nice to not be bugged, or victim for a unknown factor for this tax.

I just checked and for me, enterprise tax seems to vary between 27 and 36% depending on which enterprise I look at.

Check all of your country's "Corporation Tax" income over the past several world months. It appears to have mysteriously dropped or gone to 0.

That is the total tax collected by countries from all corporations each world month, adjustable between 0 - 75%. At 1% tax, it has been giving either 0 or close to 0, when it should be around 2B per world month.
