#Move research to facilitate incentive

To summarize, I wanted to advance research by selling 100 research papers, but did this solo, buying all iron bars and producing the papers, whilst being in a company. Because of this, my tax rate was 45% (6 skills, of which 1 used) resulting in the whole ordeal costing me 800 pounds + all food lost in doing so (approx. 500-800 pounds ?).
So companies will rarely (if ever) make a profit doing research

Please, please, move research to facilitate incentive to actually do research and at least make it break even for companies.
And I hope there is a law that could dull the pain of this experience.

If a solo player can make profit off of research, why should it cost money for companies to do? No but really, what's the real benefit of a company if the gains do not outweigh the downsides. To me personally, taxes are way to high.
A solo player can produce a tonn of iron bars and sell for 3.5, but a company has to sell for 5.10 to gain the same. In the meantime, law states that one can not undercut too much from median price of an item.
To me, the tax rate of a company is too high in such a way that these laws contradict themselves.

Thank you for reading and hopefully, this is enough to make a change.

Government has no control over company income scaling, that's a server/GM thing. We literally cannot change that. #1019664320587640843 is probably a better place for this if you want it to get attention from people who can actually change income scaling.

Regarding your income scaling, if your company has 6 skills, then you will have huge advantages over solo players in many areas of the economy. Research papers are one of the few places a solo player can make decent money, especially when compared to companies, so not really sure if it warrants the change IMO.

While it is unfortunate that your companies' skills didn't make that particular paper cheaper, that is also ultimately your choice to produce that particular paper in the end.

Yeah Companies are still to strong cause you could simply produce those papers on your own without need to buy Mats and pay tax for them. If you would not take 6 different skills with first star but all the same you are not paying income scaling at all

Yeah it wasnt really clear to me and it definitely was a bad choice but a minister asked me to produce them and didnt expect that much of a tax with so much room for profit

There’s an entire document talking about what the company system is. It’s pretty helpful if you havnt looked at it yet.
