The local lords decide the tax rate of their region and how much of it 
goes to the realm and duchy and his knight. The banker has no direct 
control over the tax rate of the whole realm/each region. The bankers 
role is deciding how to distribute the gold that gets sent to the realm. 
So there will be no "double taxing". At least that's how I've understood it.

I always thought it a bit odd that priests that are region lords do not 
get their region share. I suppose it was just easier to exclude them 
from the whole tax instead of just a part of it. Though with the new 
system it would be rather easy to let them keep their share from the 
region? Or maybe have their share automaticly transfered to the 
religions funds?
