Tax and Subsidy System

Expands the economy with a comprehensive tax and subsidy system. All relevant options can be found on the new “Taxes and Subsidies” page in the pause menu, with tabs for Income Tax, VAT, Subsidies and Settings.

• Income tax: Each farm can choose agricultural tax per hectare, a flat tax rate applied to net income, or progressive tax with up to three brackets. Changes take effect from the following year. Income tax is settled at the end of the year, with the payment deadline and daily interest configurable in the settings.
• VAT: VAT included in all prices is tracked for both purchases and sales. Separate rates can be used for machinery and services and for agricultural products. At the end of the year, overpaid VAT is refunded or outstanding VAT must be paid. Farms can choose regular VAT settlement or the flat-rate scheme.
• Subsidies: Available payments include an area-based subsidy for fields on owned farmland, a young farmer grant available once per game, an annual government subsidy and annual investment support for purchased vehicles and buildings.
• Flexible settings: The settlement month, tax rates and subsidy amounts can be adjusted. In multiplayer sessions, these settings are available to the host or administrator.
• Savegame and multiplayer support: All data is stored with the savegame and can be used in multiplayer sessions.
