I'm at 10% with happiness in the 80ties and a stagnant population of 40k...

Depending on which services I provide, desired hapiness, and desired growth rate in addition to the obvious desired amount of revenue, I go anywhere between 6 and 12% while usually sticking between 8 and 10%

Ideally, setting tax rate is like maneuvering an aircraft, to balance lift and weight, thrust and drag.

I just tend to go Scandinavian on my cities and leave the tax rates at 11%, and provide every service my cims need. It keeps everyone, myself included, happy.

I haven't touched taxes yet, except giving specific tax breaks via district policies. I guess you can translate that as "I don't have any money issues".

Obviosly in big cities those who live less dense (=low density) pays more taxes than those who stuff into block of flats. Then again I like my taxes scandinavian: progressive, but then again there seems to be no big gaps between income groups... Like in scandinavia there aren't. Surely in Cities too there are those cims who make extra money through way of education education education -> well paying job.

 

I remember many people crying that SC4 is hard because high tech was not easy to get... Well it's darn easy just educate your populace how else they're gonna do a high tech job?
