So after waiting a few hours after the Reign period started, I went to check on the accumulated taxes to see if I needed to adjust the rate at all and to my dismay, there was nothing! I even tested it with having a guild member by a large sum of stuff in the province and still no taxes were collected. Is it counted only after a set amount of time, or is it just not working?

Could the taxes be used to speed up the pegasus? :P

Better question: What are you going to do with the collected taxes?

Good to know that guilds are using the political process to cream off taxes and spend it on themselves and their friends instead of doing public works.

This isn't politics, this is a racket......oh.....

Considering the vanarch guild needs to pay 3k just to RUN every 3 weeks..... (meaning every guild that runs, whether they fail or win)

Yeah.

Please don't act like 3k is a lot of gold for a guild of 20+ members to raise, because it's not. As for vanarch collecting taxes they will use it to increase their wealth. Reason why, because nobody will be monitoring them. Considering the vanarchs are for level up zones, you only deal with each vanarch for a short period of time due to you leveling up. They talk about using taxes for events, give aways, tournys, etc; yet 12/15 vanarchs if you are level 60 you will never encounter. This makes it incredibly easy to rig said events (if they even do what they say they will) by making a guild member leave the guild to accept prize as an "independent" player.
