However it seems that it would damage new countries or countries with not so high volume of users/teams, because these teams have no builded arena, which in fact compensate that taxes, it is a main income.

However you have to remember that these taxes are from the actually volume of wage from players.. your players demands more, there is no country tax or something like that, which means that you have these taxes in fact under controll...

It is not so easy like to say "I will have bigger taxes however I have no arena". There is important to remember why I have a bigger taxes and how the other teams will be - if they will sell high salary players too. There are more things to understand which are not so clear to see indeed, but this is a manager game, not a game for 7 years old kids, right?

Of course, no-one had advanced knowledge that the attendance formula will be changed to favor huge arenas, but gate receipts will be taxed. This is a severe overhaul of the status quo, which totally kills teams who chose not to invest every free dollar in seats.

Also assume that under the new rules, all teams can pull 20,000 spectators, but will be taxed 25% of their income. The figures are obviously not meant to be precise here, but it is a scenario in principle.

Simple math shows that team A faces a 7% immediate net increase in income, while team B faces an immediate net decrease of 25%.

Simple math based on an assumption of a 25% increase in attendance. I haven't seen this kind of large increase in attednance stated anywhere (though I've prob missed more then a few posts in this thread).

New countries also have much less competition to gain top level amounts of season ticket holders. It costs less in the players needed to win, so I don't understand why there should be exclusions to the rule.

Attendance might be 1/3rd of what established top teams make, but so will wages.

If i was a 1 or 2 year old team, I wouldn't be expecting to compete with teams that are 4-5 years old.

In the example above, the team with the large arena will always be penalized for less than the full amount of the gate receipt tax, while the team with the small arena will eat all of it.
