Taxes are a way of making money in Fable III. Shortly after getting the crown and deciding Logan's fate, the new butler leads the The Hero to Albion's treasury. There, the hero must decide to raise the taxes, maintain the taxes, or lower the taxes. This is the first of many decisions The Hero has to make that will affect the Treasury funds and determine whether Albion is saved or not.
During Logan's rule, the people were taxed quite heavily. It is your job to set the tax rate for the coming year. You will be offered three choices and the people will act according to how you make them.
Moral Choice: Lower tax rate. Cost: 400,000
Neutral Choice: Keep same tax rate. No gain or loss.
Immoral Choice: Raise taxes even further. Gain: 200,000
