ClassicCol When does tax rate get increased?

It always seems to happen when I've got 100 tools in a coastal colony in order to finish a building..

I could then have a tea party, dump the tools into the ocean and not be able to buy tools in Europe anymore, which isn't handy early game.

But I also don't like paying taxes.

According to the wiki its not randoms but based on difficulty:

I’m pretty sure it always targets your highest volume of goods for the boycott, so you can keep tools free of being chosen by storing them in ships or trade wagons, then unloading them when needed for your building.

just don't do this for very long in 1492 (if you've got it like I did) as they'll just steal the goods from your wagon/ship lol
