EVE New Citizens Q&A

PI: Corp POCOs tax members in relation to their use of it, very fair method of income generation.
Mining Ops: Apply Corp tax to payout before distributing Isk/Ore/Minerals to members.
Traders: Largely a solo effort. Don't bother taxing.
Manufacturers: Largely a solo effort, don't bother taxing. If they create a demand for raw materials that other corp members produce and/or supply goods that other corp members want, having a steady in-corp trading partner who deals with fair prices is benefit enough without having to get a corp tax in the mix.


Most importantly, ask yourself: What is the Tax for?
Because most industrialists can operate outside of a corp almost as effectively as they do inside one, someone is going to ask what the tax is for, and probably won't accept "The CEO's Wallet" as an answer.

I guess my question is the same as Pin's. What are you using the corp wallet for, exactly?

If it's to buy mining ships for ops, then you're doing ops-- take 10% of the minerals from the op before you distribute the rest.

If it's for replacing tackle frigates in PvP or something, that's pretty cheap and I dunno that you should worry about it.

If it's for POS maintenance either "tax" the people that use the station by making them provide the fuel, or work out a system where they provide goods that the people paying for the fuel need at cost or something.

I guess if I had to give general advice blind to your situation I'd say discuss it with your corp and have everyone work out what seems like an equitable compromise to everyone.

(Honestly, many corps don't particularly need a tax at all outside some reserves for war decs.)

SRP, make dedicated mining ops for the minerals to build those ships / fund the wallet to buy what you can't build. Besides that, ask miners to donate a fixed portion of their normal mining to the corp (if your corp charges 10% tax on PvE, ask 10% of the minerals / ISK they get from mining to compensate).

Building POS, is full PI, ask members to set their PI to produce the neccesary goods for POS building.

Fueling POS, ask the miners to dedicate some time each month to mine the fuels in Ice belts needed to fuel POS, also ask members in general to set up some PI to provide the fuel components you need. (Personally have 4 fully trained PI characters and some basic trained. When corp needs it I can spit out a lot of stuff needed for fuel block manufacturing).
