I agree with Andy and Brad: the per-turn loyalty
impact of taxes at 60% is exactly the same as at 59%.
Fortunately, this is easy to check for yourself, since
a typical team has a few players with taxes at 59% and
others (me!) at 60%. Use Andy's chart:
40% - 60% -1, +0, +1
All your teammates with taxes at 59-60% will have
loyalty moves in that range. But the 59% folks are
getting less income.
As a side note, in BoFA, taxes start (and stay, unless
pushed up by deficit) at 60%.
Also, the initial impact of a hike does seem to be, at
each pc, an amount up to the percentage change in your
taxes (a hike from 40% to 60% is a 50% increase, so
your pc's can lose from 0-50% of their loyalty. It's
possible to lose a starting 30 loyalty camp
immediately on a bad roll). Also easy to check.

In my own experience 60% seems to drop loyalties on
a turn by turn
basis, while 59% is relatively stable. It could be
coincidence (a
string of -1's), but camps just seem to disappear at
60%...
I happen to think that the change though is much more
than 50%. I have
lost
numerous camps on turn 1 when increasing my tax rate
from 40% to 59%.
