Yes, the tax will be lower than their pay though, because otherwise they will be losing out. That means that the government has to generate a lot of funds, but there are some methods that can make this happen. Plunder trips could be lead and the soldiers could give all the gold found to whoever will be managing this through poker as and they can keep the materials and loot. Trade can also take place ( mostly with EITC ) that can generate some income. People can be required to help generate money for the government ( the government will help contribute largely too ) and they will be compensated for their work.
