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, facility sales, and rent paid by tenants at your faction's stations; 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.)
