CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['miningtaxes_update_daily'] = {
    'task': 'miningtaxes.tasks.update_daily',
    'schedule':  crontab(minute=0, hour='1'),
}

# Notifiy everyone of their current taxes on the second day of every month.
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['miningtaxes_notifications'] = {
    'task': 'miningtaxes.tasks.notify_taxes_due',
    'schedule': crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='2'),
}

# Charge interest and notify everyone on the 15th of every month.
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['miningtaxes_apply_interest'] = {
    'task': 'miningtaxes.tasks.apply_interest',
    'schedule': crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='15'),
}
  • Navigate to the admin panel and setup the accountants (1 per corp)

Post-Setup instructions

  • After you have setup your accountants (1 per corp) in the Admin Setup panel, invite all the members of your corp to add their characters.
  • If you enable MININGTAXES_TAX_ONLY_CORP_MOONS, remember that only moon mining of your corp moons will be taxes and other moons will be ignored.
  • After everyone in the corp has added their characters, consider running to the miningtaxes_zero_all command to zero out everyone's taxes to prevent mining activity from the past from being taxed.
  • When a new user joins your corp and adds their character to the plugin, also consider going into the audit tables and providing a tax credit so that it will zero out their past mining activity.
