Taxes are far to high for my liking.
taxes as in sales tax?
It would help if you elaborate on what you are actually referring to.
Sales tax. Brokers fees. SCC surcharge.
dude, broker fee is 1% if you are smart enough
sales tax yea that is high unless at almost 3 1/2% but its been higher before..
Only two things certain in life are Death and Taxes. Being exempt from one of those doesn’t mean you’re exempt from the other.

Just be glad that EVE isn’t RL because your estate would incur an inheritance tax even after you’re dead…

I think brokers fee can be 0.5% at POS. Works for buy orders but i dont trust POSs to sell expensive stuff in them. I take a break from the game, the item never sells, and then structure is popped.
My opinion is that the taxes and fees slow down trade and player activity by cutting into our wallets. Yes this would change the money supply but there are other ways to moderate ISK than slapping everything with taxes. So many taxes means players have to go exploit the sources of isk like bounty and blue drops and grind a lot just to butter the cheeks of the economy.
They only slow down player market activity for those who can’t wrap their head around how the market works. It is possible to make hundreds of billions ISK in EVE a month. Just doing trading. Those who know how to do it don’t have to have any supplemental income at all. You only need supplemental income in the beginning, when you don’t yet have sufficient funds to diversify your investments and can’t absorb losses.
Taxes are fine where they are. Market order slots can be maxed to 305, I think is the max number, with skills. If you need more than that, you’re gonna have to train a new character. That might be inconvenient, and it’s possible CCP is open to increasing the number in the future if they see a legitimate need for it.
