Income Tax from sales

[andyinkuwait]

Anyone know how the tax is calculated for sales? Quoting from a few Zone Reports

Population sold 14 Metal to traders for 9 Cr. Income tax over that 3 (33% tax rate)
Population sold 112 food to traders for 34 Cr. Income tax over that 7 (20% tax rate)
Population sold 46 food to traders for 23 Cr. Income tax over that 5 (22% tax rate)
Population sold 12 fuel to traders for 8 Cr. Income tax over that 2 (25% tax rate)

My Income Tax rate is 20%

My Income Tax rate is 20%

The math does match up:
9 * 33% = 3
34*20% = 6,8 = 7
23*22% = 5,06 = 5
8*25% = 4

No idea where those figures come from a 20% tax rate either.

Everything seems like it could be due to simple rounding, except for 3 credits from 9 trade. 20% of 9 is 1.8, which shouldn't round to 3.

No, no those percentages are MY calculations. The only reported values are the numbers.

The issue is why are these percentages different and why aren't they all 20%?

Still really confused on this issue and no joy from Vic.

I would have thought, as Supreme Leader, I would at least know how my own income tax system worked !!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the English used e.g. 'Income tax over that'
