So heres my current taxes, can you offer advice if i can lower the taxes at all more? I’m guessing just rep is left to fix.
accounting 5 and raise standings with corp/faction for stations you trade in
Accounting does nothing for the “trade tax jta” or any other empire tax. Accounting is only for the sales tax.
If your broker and advanced broker are both st 5, then the only thing left is to get standings with the corporation AND faction of the station. So for jita that would be Caldari Navy and Caldari State
The standings company USIA does still exist, and while it can take you YEARS to get your faction standing up, we can do it in less amount of time, but faction is costly compared to us raising corp.
For us to raise cal navy to 5.00 would be less than 2 bil and to 8.00 would be less than 5 bil.
To 5.00 would reduce your jita tax to roughly 1.38 and to 8.00 would be about 1.32 approximately
The lowest possible is 1% and that is with both at almost 10.00

You can reach 9.9 faction standing in a couple of weeks, but that grind from 9.9 to 10.0 is insane due to the diminishing returns. It took me 100 L4 storyline missions to get it to 10.0 from 9.9
Couple of weeks doing storylines and wrecking other factions sure. But doing epic arcs is several years. Some folks dont want to wreck other faction standings 
Just hop in a blockade runner and run L3/L4 distro missions like a madman. It takes me about an hour to do 16 of them and get a storyline mission. If you’ve got the time, you can get 10 storyline missions a day. Very quick way to get your factions standings up.
If you’re just a Jita or Amarr market trading alt, then destroying your other faction standings doesn’t matter, because you’re never going to leave the trade station anyway.
If you’ve got a spare Omega account, you can run the SOE Arc 3 times a day, every day. No need to wait for the 90-day reset. Your eyes will be bleeding, but you will get your faction standings up without wrecking the others.
and the OP asked for advice to “lower the taxes” , doesn’t mention if thats trade or sales
Yea, all taxes is ideal. especially when selling plex i buy. or products i make.
Thank you all for the replies!
I’ve used that group several times in the past. Will be using them again, usually its for mission runner chars to get them started off.
I’ve only had a few instances where it would be very slow with them, i assumed it was because of a lot of customers.
The number are:

how do you run it daily? I have (5) omega accounts right now.. lol
The epic arcs are the only way to share faction standing with another fleet member. Create 3 new toons, run the SOE arc on all of them, fleet them up with your toon that you’re trying to raise the standings for, and share the standings with them. Delete those three toons, create three more, run the arc 3 more times. Rinse, repeat…
oh geez im dumb didnt think of that… and for ships just use a gankalyst? i mean catalyst. lol
Yep, or a Sunesis, or whatever ship you have that can crank out at least 120 DPS.

thanks much.
Running the SOE Arc 6 times normally on a character would take almost 2 years. With this method, it takes 2 days…
