I think my suggestion is a pretty simple one, my idea is that, say you owe your crew leader $50,000 in taxes. If you send up $250,000 through the bank tribute, then it counts as you still owing $50,000. I think that, if you tribute money through the bank, then the amount you give should count off towards your taxes, even paying off completely.

Taxes and tribute are two entirely different things.

Taxes are what you owe to your boss for offering you protection and allowing you to work as a mobster.

Donations are a gift, a good will gesture, not mandatory.

For this reason I personally, dislike this idea.

Either way, you're still sending money to your leader. I can see it from this perspective; imagine you're paying taxes to your boss, but you also include a little more money in the envelope.

seeing as you are in my family I can tell you, you can message me about it and I would be happy to change up the taxes for you individually. If you plan on donating through donations instead of taxes as this is a game of communication I feel like this change is unnecessary I am sorry friend.

Rest in peace. You  cannot ride the Visa wagon and be a leader at the same time.

I was speaking to Sinfest in case anyone is wondering.

You can also adjust the amount you pay in taxes if you wanted to "add more to the envelope" you could do it that way as well. But I agree with Sinfest. With the introduction of individual tax rates there isn't really a reason you can't work something out with your boss to cut you a good deal if you are a solid earner and good about sending money up the chain.
