Thanks in advance

**_Broker Relations_** - reduces broker fee down to 1% at Lv.5  
**_Accounting_** - reduces sales tax down to 2.5% at Lv.5 (can be further reduced with standings, see below).  
**_Margin Trading_** reduces the ISK required to setting up buy orders _(the amount of ISK not payed this way will still need to be available in wallet for order to be fulfilled)_.

Sales Tax can be reduced simply by having high (unmodified) standing with the Corporation owning the Tradehub _(down to 2% with both Corp and Faction standing at 10)_;

- Jita tradehub is owned by **Caldari Navy**.
- Amarr tradehub is owned by **Emperor Family**
- Rens tradehub is owned by **Brutor Tribe**
- Dodixie tradehub is owned by **Federation Navy**
- Hek tradehub is owned by **Boundless Creation**

Also probably worth training up the skills to allow for remote order creation and management. Putting up buy orders in a citadel saves a lot on brokers fees.
