Here is an example: A 5-man-party share gen20 split,one is seller,else are waiting for split. Gen20 was sold for 1.4b in merchant. Before sharing split,the seller gets 1.4b*97/100=1.358b (Tax is counted.) The question is:if you are the seller,how much do you share split to everyone? Do you still share 1.358b/5=271.6m to everyone? I would tell you:You did wrong! Follow this method,the seller getting 271.6m is correct! But for those who were waiting for split,they will receive 271.6m*97/100=263.452m Do you think it's the most fair method? Here is the most fair method: Assume X is how much everyone should get 1.358b-4*X=X*97/100 1.358b=X*497/100 X=1.358b*100/497=273.239437m The seller get 1.358b-4*273.239437m=265.042252m Every sharer will get 273.239437m*97/100=265.042254m It's more fairer right?
Before new source, arrow trades were used to avoid the tax consequences, therefore, method 1 was ideal. Right now, I don’t think anyone cares enough (at least I don’t) to do the extra math for x amount of mesos; it’s simply not worth the hassle.
And let's not forget smegas are usually not calculated in the split? Assuming the person selling smegaed for the Zak run and to sell gen
