Player Features and Ideas Discussion

To put it quite simply:
There should be a corp tax for positive market transactions. (capped at ~3-5%)

why?
If you think about it, the two most common ways to earn ISK is with rat bounties and selling loot (or ore for miners). But only one of those is taxable by the corp. And I see no reason why one of the two major money makers should be taxed if the other one isn't. Or why one of them shouldn't be taxed if the other one is.

If you look at the market as it is now, often times profit margins are very slim. What you are suggesting would reduce those margins even further.

Also counterpoint:

I contract my stuff to my NPC trader alt. No money for corp. Now my corp can't collect taxes on it, and I can undercut those fools who do play it fair with their corporations and now they can't compete with me without actually losing money.

Obviously NPC corps would have that tax too

Put taxes on market sales and I'll contract all my stuff to a trading alt in a 1man corp with 0% tax.

if you want to tax miners, tax ore reprocessing.

or you could provide an orca or hauler for your corp and have mining ops, then take a cut for the corp.

Cut of market fees for outpost owners.
Cut of anything done in a POS (input/yield tax, depending I guess)

There's loads of ways to do this that aren't terrible.

To zero, dodging their main's corp tax.

No to the OP, stop sucking at making isk. Damn easy doing anything in EVE but being AFK in station.

As for everyone else, the 11% tax is coverage for "wardec" protection in lore but not gank proof ability in game mechanics. If someone is making 1man corps, there is...get this....NOT A MANDITORY TAX AS SET BY CCP, designers of the game. Where in the EULA is there a thing that says you have to pay a tax....nope, otherwise it would of been built in regardless. They still folding corp after you dec them...stop decing them and get out of highsec or gank them in a BC fit for the same price otherwise CCP can just make corp creation equal to war dec cost.

*Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

I guess the tax goes to the corp the player is in, right? No NPC tax to siphon ISK out of the game. Which means that I do the trading with a char in an alt corp and the money stays with me regardless. So, what's the point? Why should the corp get a share of my capital for stuff I bought with my money and re/sell with my money?

In contrast, everyone in the corp should lick my boots and be grateful that I take on the tedious task of seeding markets and provide toys and material. The corp, henceforth, should subsidize my activity, if anything at all.

To put it quite simply:
There are so many ways to bypass this bad idea that it is nothing more than a way to penalize those who don't bypass it.
