Corporate taxes

Post by baz »

This is an idea only but is true in real life. If it is that there will be 7 cities across CAPLAB it would be great to see the corp tax differ. Perhaps making you keep your corp HQ in a city for x lenght of time 10 years, 25 years before been allowed to move it somewhere else. Perhaps countrys that have taxes that shift too much could sway you into moving to a country thats more stable but maybe higher in tax. Maybe an event can occur that makes you think about swapping. Maybe you've moved your corp HQ from the UK to Iran, Russia or China only for a event to occur that changes your opinion about the country. it could be based on true events from history like Tianaman square that repulsed you but the corp tax was low or France change the corp tax to a higher level than say mexico but then crime in mexico causing you issues that also effect your business. Maybe you have a corp in the US but it wants you to stop importing so much into the country leaving you with a issue of moving industrys back to the US at a higher cost to your corp or suffer huge trade tarifs or corp tax. you could move to china where your main export industry is but Tiamaman square or the anniexting of Tibet ( real events in game) caused you to think twice. Maybe your in greece but the end of the Euro and the EU worrys you, maybe the tory goverment in the UK causes you issue due to there inability to stick to a policy or the US president not been able to implement the governance that you've lobbied for. Another example is the left and right swings within europe or the current turmoil of the EU political and financial problems that ulitamtely causes your Corp HQ to suffer, or perhaps not. After al your lobbing as mentioned in my previous post could be the cause, which works in your favor.

It's again just a thought and the true but unfortunate events that I mention don't have to be re-enacted in the game just kinda use it as a way to create such events for countrys in the world to create a wonderfull inblance and rebalance. Make you think more about where you place your HQ and companys in the short and long term. There's nothing worst than watching a billionaire from your own country, loseing all of there money in another man's country :D

Again please let me know your thoughts however short and negative they maybe. It's good to talk :)
