    Personally, I think that co+ should automatically be tax exempt, but Id rather have it this way then tax exemption for everyone

    In my opinion, it should be like this:

    Mayor (Not Taxed)
    Co-Mayor (Not Taxed)
    Assistant (Taxed)
    Builder (Taxed)
    Recruiter (Taxed)

    I think by default, Co-Mayors shouldn't have to pay taxes because of the high role. However, I think you should have to option to tax them. However, with lower roles, they should be taxed automatically, unless you exempt them.

    I don't think there would be a reason for a Mayor to take themselves though, lol. Also, I think only Mayors should be able to exempt people from taxes, not Co-Mayors, because then they can just exempt themselves.

    this is going against the common people and benefiting only the pockets of the wealthy

    It's all a matter of giving mayors the option. Simply just ask your mayor (in your case, me).

    I like the idea, don't see much problem with it. What Muunkee said should solve 99% of the issues raised:
    My only question is what happens when a Mayor fails to pay his own taxes?

    I don't like the idea of taxing anyone above assistant, solemnly because they should do enough work in town to make up for not having to pay taxes, along with the VIP name being changed I think it'd be nice to keep it as it is, TaxExempt really doesn't sound too nice to me tbh. I like the idea that town staff should get taxed, but I won't wish my town staff to get taxed themselves after we're already financially stable. I'm not sure changing this would be for the better

    As someone that owns a small town that has nearly fallen numerous times, I'd be happy to tax myself so I know my town will be in good stead. I often forget to check the town bank and since I have no residents paying taxes, myself and my co-mayor fund it by ourselves. This would make things a lot smoother. I understand not taxing mayors of larger towns but the option still needs to be there for people that would like it.

    Two things on this:
    Half of Peachstreet's co-mayors were worthless scumbags who did little to nothing (when I worked there)
    Give your hardworking staff VIP, problem solved :D

    some new players think because they are VIP in a town they get VIP perms on server. We were trying to find a way to separate the two. Any suggestions for VIP other then TaxExempt? Looking for suggestions?

    or rename server rank VIP to something else like "donator" or "supporter" or change Citizen -> Meeper and VIP -> Citizen

    We are not changing server rank names. We can always leave the town ranks alone, it is meant to give Mayors the ability to truly run the towns as they see fit. honestly I have never been a fan of VIP in towns anyway because if the people in the towns get it does it mean the rest of the residents are NOT Very Important People?

    I found great synonyms for "resident" on the new Thesaurus.com!
    Maybe this will help?
    I'm liking householder maybe
