Aha!

Text-only bug. Working on a fix right now.

Shall myself and Trying keep our taxes up to verify the fix has worked?

Also, does a "text-only bug" imply the penalties were still being applied, just weren't visible? Meaning that this higher tax level is manageable and therefore intended? I just want to make sure there isn't actually a bug with being able to use these high rates as well.

That is correct.

This is, at present, questionable. I've run some numbers, and was quite shocked at the levels of taxes one would have to run in most cases to get the extreme tax penalties. I'm almost certainly going to be adjusting the numbers in the near future based on some suggestions by Indirik. However, those will be announced ahead of time.

Excellent answer, as always. Thanks for keeping on top of these things! Let me know if there's any way I can help.

For the record, I do now see the tax messages (Lastfell, Thalmarkin). Stats still seem to be fairly stable with the high rate, however.
