Dominion Tax Rate

Part of the Dominions guide

The dominion tax rate is the share of each dominion's credit, technology and ideology that you receive.

For example, at a 30 % rate, a dominion that makes 500 credits per tick1200000 credits per hour pays you 150 credits per tick360000 credits per hour.

• The rate starts at 30 %.
• The share is taken from the dominion's output after its own penalties.
• Only those three resources are shared. You never receive any of a dominion's production or defense.
• If a dominion's output is negative, your share of it is negative too. That share is taken off your income, with no floor on how low it goes.

In your empire's income breakdowns, this income is grouped under Dominions.

What changes the rate

Each bonus below adds its points straight onto the rate, unlike a percentage bonus. For example, a +20 % bonus raises the 30 % starting rate to 50 %. The dominion that makes 500 credits per tick1200000 credits per hour then pays you 250 credits per tick600000 credits per hour.
