Custom's Office Wiki

Tax % is taken off the material's taxable value.
This value is set by CCP and is based off the market values in November 2011
Import is always half of export tax
The taxable value are the same for all items in the same tier
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

could somebody explain this with more detail. Is this the tax per unit imported or exported? Is it per m3? is it a standard value of sorts that is considered a 5% tax, so if something has a 10% tax, you would essentially double it? This is just not clear and I've read through the popular foums on POCO and people are talking around it but not exactly explaining it. Could somebody just give an example that might be practical to put into the wiki for us newbs. It may be good for more folks to more clearly understand taxes so that more people will get involved in PI.

It is easier to think of it as a Tariff and not a true Tax, since what is taken is a set value by class of material, regardless of the true price at the moment.

The assigned value of each class is what you have listed.

The Import "Tariff/Tax" is half of the Export "Tariff'Tax".

For High Sec/Concord Customs Office the "Tariff/Tax" rate is set at 10% for Exports

Therefore:

Each unit Imported to a planet is 5% of the Assigned Value.
Each unit Exported from a planet is 10% of the Assigned Value.

Two examples for you.

1) An extraction planet making a P1 product. Full Launch pad is about 26,000 units of P1.
Assigned Value of each unit is 500 Isk, so the "Tariff/Tax" will be 26,000 * 500 * 10% = 1.3M Isk.

2) Factory Planet - Importing 2 Launch Pads of P1 materials and making P2 products.
Each Import LP will hole 26,000 units of P1 and the 52,000 units will produce 3,250 Units of P2. (40units + 40units yields 5 units)
Import "Tariff/Tax" is 52,000 * 500 * 5% = 1.3M
Export "Tariff/Tax" is 3,250 * 9,000 * 10% = 2.925M

Hope that helps.
