Except probably every region in the game is already using as high a tax 
rate as they can afford so they can't raise the tax % without the region 
going down the drain. The local tax rate will only mean that regions 
next to the capital can afford to run a slightly higher tax rate than 
the regions further away from it. The regions further away from the 
capital will probably actually lower their tax rate just to make the 
region upkeep a bit easier.

The average noble in Old Grehk has been getting around 100 gold each 
tax. Trying to match that in the new system is hard and convincing 
people to accept offers that would give them ~70 gold instead(because 
that's all I can afford if I want to get even 100 gold for myself and 
have all the estates filled) is quite a bit of work. It doesn't help 
either that the people suddenly start to hate the normal 12% tax rate 
that has been around since forever so it had to be lowered just so the 
region could be kept in shape.
