Hello!

I have a question regarding PI taxes... In high-sec for example the custom's office says that it has a tax rate of 10%.

Let's say for example that we are extracting Aqueous Liquids (P0) on planet A and producing Water (P1) on the same planet with factories. Now let's say the current price of Water is around ~200 ISK per unit (giver or take). The cost of exporting one unit of water however is 50 ISK per unit. So more like 25% rather than 10% as indicated by custom's office.

So my question is how is this tax calculated? Or better yet, where can is the actual tax cost per unit for P0/1/2/3/4 items?

I'm trying to calculate some PI numbers in spreadsheet but it's impossible since tax % doesn't tell me anything useful.

PS: I realize that tax is calculated by some index and is changing. But where can you see those things?

It doesn't matter what they actually sell for. It's a set value.

Advanced Commodities: 1,350,000.00 ISK
Specialized Commodities: 70,000.00 ISK
Refined Commodities: 9,000.00 ISK
Basic commodities: 500.00 ISK
Planet Resources: 5.00 ISK

Woo! CSM XI!

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Thanks... Don't know how I missed that as I was browsing through wiki pages earlier. Ugh
