Schedule I: Resource Charge Table
This table provides a standardized list of charge amounts that are to be remitted to the Royal Government to represent the cost of resources used in the production of goods sold by business entities within the context of the Gotzborg economy simulation system.
The charge amount is a percentage applied to the pre-tax value (in Gotzborg Thalers) of the product (or portion of the product requiring resources - ex. drafting of plans for construction of a Work would not be subject) and is payable to the Royal Government on sale of the product. This table is updated regularly to reflect popular or new products that are assigned their own unique charge amounts. If a product is not listed, the general charge amount for the Industry / Sector is applicable. The lower the charge amount, the generally more profitable the product is for the business.

Schedule II: Sample Resource Cost Calculation
A construction company is engaged on a design and build contract by a client. The contract involves the design development of an industrial building and the construction thereof. The total contract value is GTh 100,000, of which GTh10,000 is for the design development. Under this regulation, the service portion of the contract is exempted from the calculation. Therefore, the total product or good value subject to resource cost recovery is GTh 90,000. Using the table in Schedule I, the Charge Amount for the construction of an industrial building is 45%. The total sum to be remitted to the Royal Government upon execution of this contract would thus be GTh 90,000 x 45% = GTh 40,500.
