> [@RGC\_Godfather](#): > > You must have missed the part when I explained that a corp tax doesn’t come out of anything involving the market or trading. Miners are not paying an “income tax” to the corporation. Based on skills they are paying CCP a “tax” on the market that in no way shape or form goes to me or the corp. Eve Wiki says… " A player can set a corporation tax on its members. This is paid automatically from the member’s earnings _ **to the corporation’s master wallet** _. Player corporations can choose to set their own tax rate…" So the members are not ‘paying CCP’…they are paying into your master wallet, so the tax _does_ go to you and the corp. ---

So you’re replying to a post from more than 6 months ago with more than a few changes to mineral distribution and blueprints between then and now. But for your information, nullsec group “efficiency” is not measured by how well they move surplus onto the hisec market, if it’s measured at all (interesting point for a future discussion, btw). Of course any group, regardless of location, will see to its own interests and needs first, in the artificial landscape created and adjusted by the devs. Or would you disagree on that ? ---

Eve is a game where you grief people. It’s all about betrayal, robbery, ganking, and opportuny, basically an opportunists system. You kill and get killed. Fly Safe and welcome to EVE! So with that being said, have fun!
