Make the town staff tax exemption optional.

Kind of pointless since town staff can take money back from the townbank.

However, our player base has a tendency to promote most/all of their members to 
assistants. On top of that, money isn't taken from mayors for 1-man towns, 
deleting them from people who aren't very familiar with the plugin. I'm not 
saying force it off, but as a server admin, I'd prefer that off by default, 
with the option to turn it on in town settings.

The problem is that they're promoting many people to assistant, have them 
demoted and teach the mayors how to use their town's plot-perms in order to let 
people build where they should. The assistant group is for people in an 
extra-mayor position. If you want, request an additional group on top of 
assistants.

Fine, have assistants and officials.  Town officials would be exempt from 
taxes.  Make it possible for a player to be in both groups so that you may have 
players with assistant powers and then players with "officials" powers.

This is still screwing over the 1-man towns. I'm not saying force it off, just 
asking for another option.

I agree it is also one of those pain points for new players/servers using 
towny.  A simple config to disable staff exemption would be helpful.  Better 
solution, imo, is to have it something a town can toggle with server admins 
setting the default to on or off.

I like the idea from comment 6...is this something that is being considered? 
Our one-man towns would appreciate it.

I would definitely like the ability to turn this off.

I would also like to see this ability, especially server wide.  I find that 
many people do put all their money into the town bank, to prevent from loosing 
money when they die.  Forcing staff of towns to pay taxes will prevent this, as 
the mayors are required to hold directly onto funds, and thus they cannot just 
keep collecting money from their residents, otherwise they themselves will be 
kicked from the town.  Additionally I understand that staff is able to withdraw 
from towns, however with the staff being force, it also force them to be more 
active on the server to maintain their position in their town!  Just some 
things to think about!

This is now controlled by a permission node towny.tax_exempt, you can now also 
make players pay for deaths personally, from teh townbank and the nationbank.

OK I am aware of the permission, however is it supposed to be used in the 
townyperm.yml file or in another permissions plugin?  Additionally does the 
permission just negate the tax exemption?  As of currently the Towny.tax_exempt 
permission is not present in either of the permissions files, and yet staff are 
still exempt from paying taxes.  So I assumed it still hadn't been fixed.  Also 
players on my server do pay for death, however it seems that players only pay 
when they are killed by mobs or other players.  Is there a new version of town 
that I'm not aware of?

If you run 0.88.0.0 then you'll have the new death-price feature.

From the nodes wiki page:

"towny.tax_exempt – Grant this permisison to any rank you do not want to pay 
taxes. ** ONLY works in TownyPerms **. Will not work in external permission 
plugins."

Make sure the mayor and assistant ranks dont have it.

Make sure you're running an up to date version of towny.

OH OK!  That means that I am slightly out dated, I must have missed the newest 
update.  Thanks for getting this to me, and thanks for the help!  I will make 
sure that towny.tax_exempt is NOT in my townyperms folder after I update the 
plugin!  Thanks again!
