**Running a farm means paying taxes. This mod makes sure you do.**

**Running a farm means paying taxes — once a year, just like real life.**
16
16
17
-
A daily tax is deducted from your farm balance based on your chosen rate (low / medium / high). At the end of each month, a configurable percentage is returned — simulating government agricultural subsidies or tax rebates. Falls below your minimum balance? Tax is skipped for the day.
17
+
Taxes accumulate silently throughout the year and are collected each March. In December you get an advance warning so you can plan your spending before year-end. Falls below your minimum balance? Tax is skipped.
Real farm businesses don't pay tax on every transaction — they settle up annually. This mod works the same way:
28
+
29
+
1.**Throughout the year** — income-based tax accumulates in the background. Nothing is deducted yet.
30
+
2.**December** — a notification shows your estimated tax bill, what percentage of your current balance it represents, and the total accumulated so far. Time to decide whether to spend more before year-end.
31
+
3.**March** — the full bill is collected. The amount is `accumulated × annual rate`.
32
+
33
+
Your minimum balance is always protected — if the tax payment would drop you below it, the payment is skipped for that year.
