Tax rate

Colony Taxation
The owner of a colony may set its tax rate to be anywhere from 0% to 20%. Higher tax rates will generate more money in the colony's treasury, but will lower morale over time, and vice versa. If a colony's morale state reaches the lowest level (revolt), colonists will refuse to pay their taxes and tax revenue will cease generation. When a colony is under U.N. Protection (for example in the first 3 days after the colony was started), the amount of money earned from taxes is only 1/4th of what it would be normally, or 25%. This is because the United Nations takes 75% of any tax income, as payment for protection.
