This update focuses on estimated-income-tax accuracy, existing-save reconciliation, and UI reliability.
• Estimated income tax is now calculated from 20% of prior-year taxable income and divided across the April, June, September, and December installments.
• Corrected a year-end history issue that could use the wrong December activity when establishing the following year’s estimated-tax basis.
• Existing saves with sufficient clean history will now reconcile an affected prior-year taxable-income basis automatically.
• If a player already overpaid an estimated-tax installment because of that stale basis, the difference is preserved as a credit toward the next successful estimated-tax payment rather than rewriting historical transactions.
• Accounting → Tax Strategy now provides clearer information around the prior-year basis, quarterly estimate, payments, and any carryforward credit.
• Improved Accounting and Headquarters layouts across 100%, 110%, 125%, and 150% UI scaling.
Historical tax transactions are not rewritten, and skipped installments are not retroactively collected.
Thank you to everyone who has been sending saves and detailed reports. Several of those saves were used directly to reproduce and validate these corrections.
