Isekai Kaeri no Yuusha wa, Dungeon ga Shutsugen shita Genjitsu Sekai de, Influencer natte Kane wo Kasegimasu! - Ch. 27

A tax that scales to level is sheer insanity. That's just Japan trying to kill its own population.

While the risks increase, the rewards also increase, however they do so far out of scale to risk. Higher level adventurers can stay at lower levels and crush them easily while making massive bank from goods gotten. This disincentivizes them from doing so except within a narrow band at the top of their range.

What's really stupid is not asking the US to pressure Japan against that bullshit.

who ends a chapter like that lmaoooooo

 

[Guspaz]

The author’s thoughts were completely different, but the audience knew it wanted onee x shota.

 

[NekiEcko]

BTW, you should PL Linda, she would take care of you

This is like taxing astronaut heavily thinking they are making easy money mining space rock.

This is more like the taxes on the power industry which in turn increases the price on to the consumer.
Taxes on level is like if Oil company 1 only has to pay a small tax because they only got 3 employees while Oil company 2 got to pay a huge tax because they got 13 employees.

It sounds more like japanese politicans are confused on how to tax them. They need to but they don't know how to do it without scaring away their needed workforce.

 

[Salfaro]

The "small issue" just makes me think he's gonna get roped in about the powerleveling regardless.

Also their military. Probably military personel and vets will be exempt from this tax in an attempt to pushing adventurer to be part of the military

 

[martelor]

Didn't the gov already putting taxes on income from selling material from dungeon?

 

[Chireall]

If that tax plan goes through, Japan will have shortage of high-level adventurers (who will most likely move somewhere else). In dungeon related emergencies, that will be a VERY bad scenario to end up in.

 

[Yazas]

USA didn't tax this? seems unlikely

 

[fuzzyk]

Proto knows what's up. Or maybe he browser the internet too much, hm!

 

[phorx]

Even a 1% tax would be enough to make explorers leave the country and go elsewhere. Why? The government is demonstrating they don’t understand how dependent they are on explorers.

The tax is just the initial volley and will be followed up with more attempts at control and revenue pilfering in the future.

Compare that to other countries where they’re treated as a privileged class and the choice becomes obvious.

Taxing adventurers isn't a terrible idea, but they're doing it in a terrible way. Taxation is one method to prevent inflation. If too many adventurers became mega-wealthy, money wouldn't circulate, and it would affect the economy. The smart thing to do is to use tax exemptions to encourage them to circulate their excess wealth and direct it into areas the government deems beneficial. Things like donations to other adventurer schools, or dungeon materials research, or subsidizing public goods like healthcare or housing.

But if all you do is put an extremely high tax on adventurers based on their level instead of their actual achievements, it will make them either A) leave the country or B) overthrow the government.

We've had this plot about the government being greedy and incompetent since chapter 1. Before the dungeons, there was a power structure of wealthy elites and government leaders colluding to control society. Suddenly, their entire structure is replaced by "High levels are justice." The government is trying to maintain the old power structure by controlling the adventurers, but it's doomed. The material conditions for the old power structure no longer exist, and the new material conditions are level grinding.

So just like irl

gotta love the robot, it takes care of your daily chores, edit and manage your video channel, invest your assets, gives life advices, and most importantly the juicy romance gossip.
(i would not surprise if later it somehow turns into a girl)

Mannn, everytime Proto1 appears, it always nice. I'm so jealous of Ryoji

It's begging to have the high level people who will have a means of getting a lot of money and a lot of people seeking them out to move to different countries that taxes them less.

Amusingly, this very same concept is hard to understand by people who believe they could infinitely tax the rich and somehow the rich won't find either a loophole or a means of just avoiding it entirely, which can include just relocation.

On a different note. 1 Million per dungeon? That's low balling it for a country altering dungeon tutorial video that will greatly impact not just the entirety of the society involved but also the general safety, quality of life and etc. He could easily haggle it to a hundred million if not a billion or a different long term passive income setup that would amount to far more wealth over time.

Though it's also understandable that he doesn't give a half a damn. He's the most powerful entity in the world, he has all the wealth through goods that he has gotten from the depths of the strongest of dungeons. He has no need for anything so if anything, everything he's doing is just out of hobby or a general desire for something outside of the reach of his ability to exert absolute violence on anyone and everyone... Seriously at this point, nothing really stops him from deciding to conquer the world, and succeed at it, probably in less than a week if he so chose to do so.

I always heard the term twinking for letting higher level players level a lower level player. Power levelling is just min-maxing for gaining levels.

Not used to being called by name, but that is normal in the western world.

"This is how business is done in America."

That's a very American statement. He's talking to a kid from Japan, and expects everyone to just be used to that.

Sure, put on heavy taxes on the people keeping your nation alive. Regular income and sales tax, sure, everyone's subjected to that, but a special tax on top of that, nope.

He does need a friend at that point.

 

[jasty]

Just power level Linda only! Look at her cute face!



She wants to join the harem SOOOO bad.
Don't say no to her!

It took me a bit, but I think I figured out an underlying logic to trying to tax adventurers other than the complete idiocy it probably is. The idea is that by increasing the taxes per level they’re forcing the adventurers to grind deeper floors more appropriate to their level. A medium to high level adventurer won’t be able to coast by taking on easier floors because the taxes are taking too much and can’t clog the lower floors for the adventuring grind pipeline to take advantage of how much better Japan is doing at resource mining right now. They get to black company their way into more stuff while double dipping in taking the profits away from adventurers.

I’m sure everyone else in this thread has pointed out all of the flaws that would/will utterly break this plan alongside the increased danger from forcing people to dig deeper and take more risks than they feel comfortable with.
