ISK income from missions is 31% of the total you can earn. The rest comes from LP, loot and salvage.
This means that for a mission runner, the 11% will actually be an effective tax of 3.41%.
Yup. Less shooting more looting and salvaging because that is where the the tiny fun in missioning is. Or getting to know the inner workings of corp hopping and wardeccing. All other carebearing outside missions still done in NPC corps. It sounded good - at first glance. At second glance it just makes EvE more bothersome if you stay or not.

The whole income tax is crappy and lazy solution to corp income in the first place and this change does not help it at all. You want corps to have income, pay extra bounties for rats exterminated in their space or just let them sort it out themselves, getting income from player wrecks and mining ops. Why do you have to pay corp tax when you take a day off from corp duties and do some NPCing (L4s being just one of venues) or worse why do you have to have alt to do something so basic.
None is going to lose much by the NPC tax. It will just make people mildly annoyed like any tax does, will get more nubs into scam corps, will get some killed in hopeless wardecs and will annoy people that just like being anonymous lone wolves yet having informal interaction in NPC corps.
Also, people will eventually figure out how to evade taxes, it just forces you to metagame, instead of shooting stuff or making stuff you end up reading some shoddy legalese that ends up badly implemented half of time.
NPC tax makes sense, is nothing gruesome but in the end is addition that makes the game poorer in large part because it spreads crap.

Erm did anyone actually consider that there is no tax for drone loot nor LP nor tags (both faction navies and sleepers). It is more half-ased then most would admit.
The whole corp tax is beyond lame, yet another scam venue made by CCP.
Contrary to popular belief, even 100% corp tax during CTA won't prohibit anyone sentient from NPCing or other soloing, much less this.
If you want to make taxes meaningfull, pay bonus bounty to sov holder for every rat (belt, plex, mission) killed in his space no matter who did it. That will actually do something to promote player interaction, this will not.

To talk, join your language channel or L4s channel, or just spam Ship trade like some. Nubs in nubcorp can rot helpless and clueless in their new hell and quit in frustration the way CCP wants.
Taxes are stupid, only cover narrow niche, are inconsistent (you pay tax only from some rats, not from others). The CCP solution to stupidity is to spread it so we get insensitive to it.
