My nation has been on 100% tax for ages; tried adopting measures that would lower it but so far nothing...anyone got ideas about how to lower it? :confused:

Only way is to answer issues which lower spending, but also don't forget: don't pass ANYTHING which will increase spending! Some issues have to be dismissed, since they end up spending no matter what you choose.

There is an issue that adresses a 100% tax rate. If you chose to lower it on that issue, it will drop to 85% or something.

Another tip is, when there's a scandal, divert people's attention with a little tax cut. Yes, it's pretty low, but I'm sure they'll be happy and shut up.

perhaps your rate is actually way above 100%, so it might need repeated attempts as well.

Keep in mind though, a 100% tax rate may not affect your economy. I have one, and it's still rated 'strong'.

I too have high taxes (87% at present), and my economy is a PowerHouse.

Yes, do keep in mind that you might have like 150% tax rate, but the game only shows values between 0 up to 100, so if you have more than 100% then you have to spend some time to actually get it to 100, then to get the decrease visible again..
