Taxes are calculated as a percentage of what in SimCity Buildit?
I know that the tax rate varies based on how happy the Sims are. Let's say my Sims are 99% happy. The tax rate is 20%. But 20% of what?
City hall says I get a tax rate of 20%, which equals §12075 every 24 hours.
If the tax rate were based on population, my population is 104184, so times 20% = §20837. That can't be it, so it must be something else.

Actually, what I noticed is that it seems to be 20% of your base population based on number of residences without the adders for parks, transport etc. So even though I have a population of 350,000 without all of the population boosters my population should be around 72,000. Big difference, but that makes my sense for why my daily tax is less than $15,000.

Answer 2
One thing which is quite obvious is that the tax is good at lower levels but exponentially decreases with every population. I was able to raise the tax to 10k when I had 100k population, but now I am at 150k population and the tax is only 12k. (Both at 99% happiness)
This seems to be a well designed trick by EA. People who are deeply engaged in the game and rising in population are more susceptible to spending money.
Answer 3
I got the same BS answer from EA. if you really want to know how your paid the 20 percent is absolutely meaningless. using regression trend lines on Excel I have formulated the equations, note this is with 100% happiness. Y=.018x+10199 I started this with my population at 110704. This tells you how much money one will receive with x=pop. Y=-.06ln(x)+.8063 this is the percentage you get per population this is a downward logarithmic trendline. the first equation has an R value of 1 and I have 9 different points, an R value of one is perfect. the second trend line has an R value of .976 which is close to perfect.
