2012 Tax Bug

Yes, that’s true, but I only purchased Crystal Whirl this morning and didn’t own him in 2012 :slight_smile:  

OK…

All of the tax dollar amounts should be correct.  I’m now working on fixing the final balance amounts.

OK, I think everything should be fixed.

Shanthi, thanks for taking the time to look at this stuff but my tax page still says

TOTAL TAXES ON RACEHORSES: $185,000

and my budget page still shows

Tax for Racehorses $523,678

If you’re not fixing this I understand I’m just confused on what’s going on.

Thanks

It might be that the tax page is reset to reflect the taxes you will pay next year. Mine took a day to turn over meaning yesterday it showed the taxes I was paying right now but today it’s showing the taxes I will pay next time.

Maviko is right…your tax page will show your taxes for 2013.  This bug is for the taxes that were paid yesterday for 2012.  Obviously 2013 taxes (today) are way less than 2012, because your horses haven’t earned anything on which to be taxed.

Looks like my taxes were right, just a few other random deductions to the tune of $588,051  :astonished:

Sorry Shanthi, I know you’ve got plenty on and didn’t need another problem  ;D

Andy, you should be set.

I don’t think my Taxes are correct.

According to my Budget, I was charged $561,271 for Racehorse Tax and $39,000 for Broodmare Tax. According to my calculations, the Racehorse Tax should have been $536,445 (which is what the Tax page said that it was before you made any changes) and the Broodmare Tax should have been $27,000.

Although I now have 13 Broodmares, one of them, [color=red]Flaming Silk, was only changed to Broodmare today, another one, [color=red]Coco Diablo, was only changed to Broodmare a couple of days ago and has not been bred. There are also two Broodmares that I bought already in foal so I don’t know if I’m responsible for their taxes or if the Stable I bought them from is (if I am, then my Broodmare tax should be $33,000).

Please could you look into these for me.

BTW - Does the new Shipping Tax Deduction start with the 2012 Taxes or 2013?
Thanks.

Thanks Shanthi, your worth more  :-*

OK, now everyone should be set.

I really hate to post this but my budget is still off. I am back on the positive side(yeah!), but short $20,200.

Breakdown:
Balance before taxes:  $501,158
Total Taxes:  $391,536
Balance of:  $109,622
Total spent 1/1 & 1/2: $87,000
Balance should be: $22,622

Says on Stable Home Page:  $2,422

If it was a couple hundred even 1 or 2k, not a big deal but $20,200 is entry money on new auction purchases.

I’m sorry!!
KayLeigh’s budget is correct though.  Still negative but correct(Yeah!)

Fixed.

I don’t believe I got 10% (for shipping) off my Racehorse tax. Can you please check this out?

Everyone did.  I’ve now re-run the tax code about 20 times.  Unless you are positive a number is way off, or your budgets don’t add up (like Andy’s post above), consider it correct.

We all love you for working through this and getting everyone straightened out or as close to straight.

Thank You!!

Thank you for working so hard to get this fixed so quickly!  We all greatly appreciate your dedication to the game :slight_smile:

I hate to be a pest, but my budget went all wonky on me.

This morning, I had $270+k in my account, now it’s down to $180k, eep!
All I’ve done in the last two days were the 2 leases from you ($5k each) and 2 auction wins at $10k each, so it should only have dropped $30k total.

The problem seems to be in the leasing of GOTTA HAVE FAITH, where his $5,000 lease dropped my budget total from $288,385 to $208,385, making him an expensive $80,000 lease!!  :astonished:  Hopefully he’s worth it, but it’s not what I signed up for, ya know?  :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks in advance for looking into this!

Hi Shanthi,

You seem to have worked so hard today to fix this budget crisis, and I wanted to give you time to get it all sorted out. So I’ve waited to let you know about my budget mistake.

When I leased Wizard’s Quest, my budget went from $121,549 to $81,549, making the lease $40,000 instead of $5,000. when you can would you check into this for me? It’s much appreciated, and I value everything you do for this game.

Dee

Thanks a ton Shanthi, really appreciate the effort
