Lost tax bills?

[h🚱zr]

According to my Home Board's Reports section, I'm behind on 2 tax bills. I just paid off the current month's bill and that message is still there... I'm pretty sure it said somewhere that if you're behind by 4 months you lose a ton of karma. I don't recall throwing out any bills, but I have nothing left in my mailbox at the starting Meadow, and didn't see anything on the floor in Vernis (I only just installed a mailbox there).

I just set up a Policy to automatically deduct taxes from my bank balance, but is there a way for me to pay off previous months' bills without the tax bills themselves? Or to locate/reprint any bills I might have misplaced?

(Also, why are the bills being delivered to my starting Meadow location even though I have Vernis bound as my home?)

There is an option to pay additional tax, from clerk? Someone where you pay tax.

Also, you could get your own tax box at casion, Palmia. Only cost 200 chips, throw a few bastket ball, BUT do not gamble there. DO NOT gamble there

ah yeah you just throw money into a banker next to most capital towns tax boxes

with that you dont have to worry about missing a tax payment it should pay it

though I dont fully recall if its at the start of the month or immediately following a current debt payment

Regarding delivery location, bills and delivery box shipments just show up at whichever of your own tiles you visit first after they've been sent afaik, so when they show up at the meadow it's just because you happened to be there at the right time.

As mentioned, a nice way to pay taxes in the future is to get some tax boxes from the casino or via furniture tickets and set it up right next to your mailboxes so you never forget a payment, but that doesn't solve your current problem.
If you know where they are and have collected enough small medals, the legendary smith workshop can trade you a few backup tax bills for a handful of medals, and those spares have the added bonus of only being billed for 1 credit, which overrides whatever price you're supposed to be paying when you turn them in, so by paying the medals you're essentially skipping that month's oren fee.

Aside from the medal trade, though, I don't think there's a way to replace the lost tax bills. You really need to be careful not to lose them. The "pay additional tax" option offered by secretaries or your maid doesn't cover your outstanding bills, it's literally asking to pay more taxes on future payments (in exchange for some extra gold bars sent your way every time you do).

Well I just discovered one tax bill that was delivered behind my house, where I couldn't see it because of the wall. There's still one more out there...

Thanks for the tip for getting a personal tax box, I thought the furniture tickets were the only way to get one directly, but I've been saving up influence for the other goods Palmia's mayor has. And yeah, I didn't have very good luck on the slots...

Seems like it was the start of the next month!

That's what it seemed like... while gold bars are nice, I'm more consistent in getting them with the shipments I send out whenever I come back from a Nefia crawl. Thanks for the confirmation on the other stuff!

You can also take tax boxes via furniture tickets. It only costs 3 tickets so it's very easy to acquire even just starting the game

Have you tried going to your settlements and press Stg+F? I thought I had lost one too, and it was just placed really stupidly behind a tree in the second settlement.

Ohhhh my god I didn't know you could just Ctrl+F stuff on the base. I thought they mentioned something like that but couldn't find it in the journal or help.

Yeah the bill was completely obscured in the tile right behind my home board. Thanks for the tip!

I have more than 3 tickers: how exactly do you pick up the Tax Box in Mesilia?

Solved it. One has to hold the 3 tickets in hand, then right click on the Tax Box and select it from the menu. Link is here: https://ksk428.hatenadiary.com/entry/2024/10/19/161721#2-Take-home-the-tax-chest
