Your celebrity lives in Azergolia, where the tax regime is as follows:

  • All inhabitants pay tax at a flat rate of 20% on the difference between their revenue and costs for each month.  If they spend more than they earn, they pay no tax.
  • All inhabitants can designate one month of the year to be a tax holiday, in which no tax is payable.

Open the workbook in the folder above, and add the following inputs:
