Taxes
Every Sim born will add 20,000 Simoleons to the city funds (pets do not count and newly built servos add 5,000 Simoleons each). Each real life week will take out 10% of each houses family funds. Note this will not actually take out money from those funds. But the amount you get will be based upon that. Family funds is both the amount of money they have plus the worth of the lot and the stuff in it. Note every time you add a sim from your 1st 8 sims you add 20,000 to your city funds. Thus you will start out with 160,000 Simoleions in all to start.

Residential Taxes
This includes occupied homes only.

Earns 10% Tax on the value of the lot per week.

How It Works
1. You pay for zoning a lot based on the size.

2. If its a Residential Building you construct it for free.

3. When tax day comes you get 10% of its value if it is occupied.

4. To occupy it you must buy it using a Sim's family's money.

5. To improve it while occupying it you must use your Sim's family money.

Commercial and Industrial Building Taxes
This includes anything from restaurants, markets, offices, factories, etc.

Earn 10% of the zone value + # of Jobs($5,000) per week.

How It Works
1. You pay for zoning a lot based on the size.

2. If its a commercial or industrial building you pay nothing to build it.

3. When tax day comes you get 10% of the zone value + # of Jobs($5,000)

4. If you wish to improve or add to it it will be free.

EXAMPLE:

Lets say you have your steel mill

24 job (5,000) = $120,000

$120,000 + lot value (3x5)

$120,000 + $8,700 = $128,700 (value of the lot)

10% of $128,700 = $12,870 per week

Thus every Wednesday you will earn $12,870 for the steel mill.

And only had to pay $8,700 for the zoning of the 3x5 lot
