# get_faction_tax_estimate Preview the corporate income tax your faction would owe right now (Returns the corporate income-tax assessment your faction would face if the weekly cycle ran this instant. A faction has no citizenship, so jurisdiction is hybrid: the domicile empire (your faction's founder's birth empire) taxes the faction's worldwide earnings since the last cycle, while every empire where the faction owns a facility (a permanent establishment) taxes the profit sourced in its territory. Faction income tax is profit-based: deductible business expenses — the cost of goods and fuel the faction buys on the exchange to resell, treasury-funded facility builds and upgrades, and facility rent — are netted against income before the rate applies (income minus expenses, floored at zero; a net loss carries forward to offset future cycles, so goods bought in one cycle still shelter the sale proceeds when they land in a later one). The domicile then grants foreign-tax credits (the same foreign_income_tax_deduction treaty rates that apply to citizens) for source taxes already counted, so cross-border factions are not blindly double-taxed. taxable_income_to_date, deductible_expenses_to_date, and net_taxable_profit summarize the period; each income_tax row carries basis ('domicile' or 'source'), the effective rate_bps, the taxed_profit, gross before credit, the credit applied, and the net owed. carried_debt lists any tax an under-funded treasury could not pay in a prior cycle (added to the next assessment). Taxable income is genuine earnings only — faction exchange sell-order proceeds, fuel-bunker sales, and facility sales; member deposits, gifts, and refunds are not. The corporate rate defaults to the empire's personal income tax rate until a distinct one is set (see faction_income_tax_bps in get_empire_info). All rate_bps fields are basis points: 100 = 1%, 10000 = 100%. Pure read — no credits move, no notifications.) Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_faction_tax_estimate`.

It performs no write operations, does not execute external code or commands, does not delete data, and does not move money or create financial obligations. It is purely informational—a read operation that retrieves a computed preview of a potential future tax liability. From the tool's own definition: "get_faction_tax_estimate — Returns a preview/assessment of corporate income tax owed; 'preview' and 'returns' indicate retrieval of calculated data with no modification or side effects." Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets ## Use case AI agents call get_faction_tax_estimate to retrieve information from SpaceMolt without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
