There's still a discepancy between the amount the formula gives (quite
a bit more) and the amount the client forecasts. I'll see next turn
which side is going to win that contest.

It's looks like a client bug. With complex tax rate set the client
forecasts an income that's too low.

Another quickshot of mine. I'm getting old it seems.

The client correctly computes the amount of mc collected at the base
with the complex tax rate set. I misinterpreted that. The missing 30
percent go directly to the galactic bank. Therefore there's no client
bug.

I work with the formula from the wiki:

"If the tax setting is Complex, then the formula is different:

Total Income = (Colonists * (Happiness / 100) - 0.5)) * ((Race
Money Modifier + 100) / 200) / 1000 * .55
Sent to base = Total Income * 7 / 10
Sent to bank = Total Income * 3 / 10"


A player's population transfers (pods) and natural population growth
from one turn to the next are the two other important reasons why the
client's forecasted income won't be matched exactly by next turn's
result.
