Seems we can tax people's PI export, however what is that tax based on? What value is the tax calculated from, is it a percentage of the export costs? or is it an isk per weight deal. How does one set the base value when dealing with the new system???

Im just a little lost, if somebody could help me that would be great. Thank you.

Customs Offices in High Sec will remain under the authority of CONCORD who will, in turn, charge doubled import and export taxes. Current tariffs in high-security space - as of today - on Singularity:

P0 Aqua - 0.50 / 1.00 per unit (import/export)
P1 Oxygen - 0.10 / 0.20 per unit
P2 Coolant - 9.00 / 18.00 per unit
P2 Mech Parts - 9.00 / 18.00 per unit
P3 Robotics - 600 / 1200 per unit
P4 Broadcast Node - 50,000 / 100,000 per unit

The new tax formula will allow the owner of the Customs Office to modify the tax between 0 and 100%. 100% of what you may wonder? Good question; every resource that can pass through the Customs Office has an associated "tariff." This is an ISK value controlled by CCP and this is the value that is taxed. The taxes you paid before can be translated into this new system, and that would equal 5% tax in a player owned customs office. So, if you set the tax to 5% you will pay the exact same as before.
