personally, i think it doesnt make sense to have corp tax. i mean think about it. you joined a corporation, and you should be getting payed, not paying the corp. Don't want to relate this to RL, but i guess i have to...if you joined a company like microsoft, would you pay them to work for them? no, they would pay you. ----------------------------------------------- CANADIAN |

Yeah but in RL the company would get to keep everything you make and earn. So hand over all your agent mission rewards, all the ore you mined, all the loot you got NPC hunting. Hand over any tech 2 blueprints since any R&D IP would be owned by the company aswell.
In return you get minimal wage, and a crappy pension plan you can claim when your 65 .

Well the thing is - Your corp builds a POS in deep 0.0 - You make Big Bucks using the POS refining array, provided by corp. When a player does that - only a very few - even think of sending a bit of profit to Corp...... So... In order for a medium corp, not having to inforce corp minings, this is just another way around the problem. - In other words - even with corp taxes you can still make profit. I belive the Idea behind Corp Tax'es is that the members share an expense, and gain from it. The corp income from taxes should not go in the wallet of the CEO.
Hope that helped a bit. Despite my ilogical disposition and bad english. |

Yep, even small corps need the tax.
We use the corp wallet as a buffer and are not very hard on sharing if we can use something we find. Taking 10-15% tax would be much help to us since we'd always have a small backup that's growing most of the time.

Fact is: COrp tax is an promised feature, some like it, some not.
We, or many of us feel that we want it, but CCP still has it on their "not this urgent" list.
We are waiting for that feature since the beginning. Again, please make it work. Don't ask "can i have your stuff" because i'll give it to everybody else than you! |

Pffft. When it comes out it'll be screwed to hell and back anyway... just like POS.
I'm actually pretty excited about what kind of ubernerf, bug or logical error they'll come up with once they dish out corp-tax.
Matter of fact: Thousands of corporations would benefit greatly from this feature and it's a shame that it isn't ingame more than a year and a half after the game went live.

hum?
what are u try to say?
BTW I vote on corp tax ... shouldn't be difficult for CCP to apply corp tax... at least should be easyer than add the missing TITANS, also esier than add the lockon on BPOs in corp hangars and also should be esier than each corp division to have its own wallet... in resume corp tax implementation should be esier than adding extra new bugged features to the game that lacks of basics.

Corp Tax fine at some point maybe - but it's gonna be to open to abuse - maybe 24 hour to implement change and all corp members being eve-mailed will help stop scammers
I think they are working on higher priorities atm but it would be a nice feature

remember that you can join a corp with a 0% tax rating. Taxation should be an implemented option, and if you are really opposed to paying a small percent then you can join a corp with no tax rating.
If the option is finally put in the game it merely adds more choices.

deadline = a term used usualy when companies set a fixed date for something to be made/released/fixed.
I mean its grate that we get tons of " new " items in game and new missions and buggs fixed but things that have been said to be implemented into the game long a go and still no sign of em makes me just wonder why, why all the gimps , why do we have to wait for new stuff to be put in the game whats the hold up ?
i mean if ccp have staff shortages in/on the dev team why dont they just say so and hire a few more players to actuly hunt the bugs down and fix the missing pieces on modules,complexes,agent missions etc etc etc ,
what is the hold up not enough isk in corp wallet/ lack of funds , time, staff shortage , players in game what is the hold up ???

Not needed.
If you need a way to force members to support the corp you have the wrong members or the wrong CEO and Directors. Its just a sign of a poor quality Corp to me.
I dont want to see 1 second of developers time wasted implimenting new bugs (however long they've been "promised" for) when their time could be better spent sorting out the ones we are already experiencing.
Theres more important things to work on and ccp seem to realize this which is why this and many of the other dumb things people see as a "MUST FIX NOW" issue arnt being addressed yet.

Definately Needed.
Personally I get sick of asking people to donate ISK to the corp wallet. Believe it or not folks, your corporation does have expenses -or- do you think that nice office pays for itself. ALSO I believe now with exodus, you can use corporate funds to pay for sell/buy orders AND thier associated costs.
Now for the clown who says - "Well i donate regularly to my corp wallet" ... well ... you're one of the few.
Shaving a up to 5% off of your transactions isn't much to ask to be a member of an organization AND probably won't be notice by characters older than 2 months.
REMEMBER: That first million is the hardest to make ... after that, you shouldn't have a problem making ISK in EVE. The Pitboss Alliance Executor The Confederation

If you don't like the tax, start your own Corp and set it to 0.0%, some of us want/need it in. We don't have it set very high, but it will pay for the offices and lab slots once it gets here.

its not a matter of forcing the members to support the corp, its just a matter of making it easier for everyone to do so. everytime there is a patch im asked if we can use it yet. figure 1-2% off the sales would be plenty and no one has to break out a calculator. _______________________________________________

Edited by: Lord Titanus on 24/12/2004 17:35:59 Indeed it should be made available, but all current, corp taxvalues should be reset to 0.0% and tax voted in only, its only way it will/should work without being exploited by CEO's/Directors

Edited by: Lord Titanus on 24/12/2004 17:35:59 Indeed it should be made available, but all current, corp taxvalues should be reset to 0.0% and tax voted in only, its only way it will/should work without being exploited by CEO's/Directors

I don't really think it can be exploited by CEO's and Directors. There is a max 10% tax that can be assigned. And frankly, if your worried about your CEO scamming you, it time to leave your corp.

Edited by: Lord Titanus on 24/12/2004 18:28:04 i did in-fact mean 'exploit' as take more than a fair share, 10% is a LARGE ammount especially when you have several hundred mil in your account, and for the record i have the bestest CEO evvarrgg and id trust him with everything i own in-game

Don't want to relate this to RL, but i guess i have to...if you joined a company like microsoft, would you pay them to work for them? no, they would pay you.
Yeah but in RL the company would get to keep everything you make and earn. So hand over all your agent mission rewards, all the ore you mined, all the loot you got NPC hunting. Hand over any tech 2 blueprints since any R&D IP would be owned by the company aswell.
In return you get minimal wage, and a crappy pension plan you can claim when your 65 .
AMEN !!

I'm in for the Corp Tax... as a small corp, it'd be a good way to generate spare cash for the factories, offices and so on that we need to keep running, without us having to sit down and work out how much money you need to chuck in...
I *do* agree, though, that there needs to be a 3-day or similar vote to alter the tax rate... this would prevent unscrupulous CEO's from hiking the tax rate suddenly. At the least, there should be a 24 hour delay, so that the majority can read the mails.
But this is something that will be optional - nobodies forcing any corp to adopt it, but it'll be something to help make corps different, depending on their members' philosophies on life, the universe and taxes.
After all, we have death of sorts... why not have the *other* certainty too...?

Tax doesn't mean the corp wallet gets 10% of what is in your account already, just a whatever percentage (upto 10% I believe, it should be upto 100%, perhaps with a "security feature" that you can only make it go up 10% a day or something)of the total amount that is added to your total balance.
Now, I am wondering when the tax is going to be implemented. It can't be such a hard thing to code, especially since it was already (perhaps a bit buggy, can't say that I really know) in the game one time. It would be nice to know if it will be in the next patch or just soon(TM).

the taxes as decreiped on the shiva page where you can adjust between 1-10% on anything from agent rewards to market to NPC kills (10 deferent things that each can be adjusted individually) would be extremely nice to get ingame
but even a basic market tax that a corp can set from .1-10% would be good
I dont care if you have a vote or not its proberly a good idear as it is possible to exploit (remeber 10% of 100 mill (the price of a tech II BS) is 10 mill) however again if you are in a corp where you dont trust your CEO/Directors its proberly time to change corp

Hi all,
I have been running a corporation for more than a year now, having mostly good members, but also some who tend to put their personal goals above those of the corporation.
This will always be the case but without any tax, one simply has no fair system of generating profits for the corp, as those members who are donating will always be the loosers.
In EVE, a CEO must have a means to control this situation for providing an economically fair environment for all members. Hey, if a CEO abuses the tax-system, he's just another egoistic idiot... we all know that.
Nevertheless, having a tax system in place does not answer the main question a good CEO has to answer: Where does the money go to return profits to the corp!?
Regards, Jennifer 8
P.S.: In RL you spend your worktime for a corporation and get your money for that. A corporation in EVE just returns - or should return - a different kind of payment (like ships, materials, etc.). I really wonder who's working in RL for paying the EVE-accounts of some in here...

Definitely, corp taxes are TOP priority as ever was. CCP somehow see it differently and they did remove it at launch. Many of you who do say no taxes we should be pay by corporation how wrong you are:
1st corporation have upkeep and this upkeep need to be played 2nd corporation can supply new members with ISK, stuff and this is why sharing come in play 3rd in beta there was feature called "Shares" it's still present in game but have no other function than voting about "sanctioned acts". In beta CEO had option to pay dividends to share holders.
In fact "taxes" in EVE aren't taxes but something called interest which making profit for corporation. Every member of corporation is asset who does producing interest thru taxes. Then it was possible to pay interest to each shareholder.
TAX was planed as vital part of EVE according to use of SHARES somehow these two features were thrown under desk by CCP development cycle. I see reflections in MARKET implementation. EVE seems to be more PvP centric now than economic based game as it was during BETA stage. Simply because PvP making EVE more sexy for causal players than ECONOMIC aspect in game.
It's a bit problematic because in MMO world there is no similar game with deep economic background like EVE and it draw in more mature players who does like to play monopoly like games. EVE had more faces than average MMO but slow degrading only to uniform face of other MMO games.
Shortly: "CCP WAKE UP TAXES AND SHARES WILL MAKE EVE BETTER"

I think corp taxes would help alot. If your corp members are willing to pay the tax and they all agree to it then why not? Its another way of getting your corp some extra income without your members having to struggle to figure out how much to donate to the corp, now they dont have to. -----------------------

Question:
What is being proposed about what is exactly taxed as far as the % to corp?
What about escrows? Or direct trades? What if I am the ore refiner for the corp and others are doing mining and giving to me to refine? They wouldn't have paid any tax right? I would have had to pay alot if I sold it.
Just currious what you guys are thinking about.
What if I am playing a hugh amount should I be shouldering a larget portion of the load for a corp? Maybe a possible flat tax? Duno. Not sure how something like this would work in a corp like ours. We mine together everyday one hauling few mining it's all combined in corp and we just take from corp account for whatever we need.

if you read the shiva pages they claim that come shiva (exodus) we were going to get a advanced Tax system with 10 deferent setting (like agent running, Market and more) the system that was back in Beta was a flat % system on all transactions
either system will work for me I prefer the advanced one but even the basic flat one is fine
either way this is something that need to be in the next patch please

I also second implementing the tax system as soon as possible. Like many have said, it is a neccessary tool for successful corporation management. A small amount of every transaction is barely noticable when you get used to it, unlike regular donations that show in your wallet instantly (and oftentimes get forgotten, too, possibly due to reluctancy).
As to the argument of making it yet another possibility for a CEO to scam the members - I think CEO already has all the capabilities of taking advantage of the corporation funds, this would not change the fact.
It would be but a very helpful tool, a way for people to bring their share into the community no matter what they do.

even if we had the option of a 0.5% tax or nothing it would be a great additon, quick fix till its sorted properly it dont realy need a vote and itd sort the corp funds probelmb, id never notice it and i bet nobody else would, if your dealing in 100s of isk im sure you can affod to lose 500k or so. Put this on the the to do list pls.
the above post contains no swearing; the devs do have other things to do

"FACTS:
* Its trivial to do! * No amount of CCP hand waving will dispell thats it trivial to do."
Long time ago there was thread started by the devs, who asked the community to help them figure out just how exactly the tax would work. I.e. what's get taxed, what doesn't, by what rules etc and so on.
The thread grew to something like 20-30 pages really quick. Didn't bother to track it myself, but from checking it occasionally it'd appear people had at least ten different ideas on how to implement it, most of them in conflict with every other.
So no, don't think it's as trivial as it might seem at first glance -.^;

this game is player based, they cater to us, and not the other way round. If enough ppl want tax now, then they have no excuse not to bump it up on there todo list.
If you don't cater to your clients, you don't have clients :)

yep it was something that I was really looking forward to that we CEO's finally got a real way of financing the corp instead of a few ppl finacing the whoile corp by them self
its been said several times already that if you dont trust your CEO its proberly time for you to find another corp (we are hiring )
and even a vote for increases of the Tax rate would not matter (might only be fair as it will give the members a chance to leave the corp if they dont want to pay the tax)
again our corp does not have Isk trouble as such but it would be a lot easyer to keep Isk in the corp wallet by implemending something that should have been ingame since Beta (well was ingame in beta but was taken out for reasons unknown) the corp tax needs to be made a Priorety

We as a corp need taxes to pay rents of offices, lab's and factories. Many people asking to implement it but no answer from CCP, they told on exodus pages that it will come soon(tm) but when is that?
I as CEO is trying to get a tax from every player in the corp on a weekly basis but still i have to remind everyone every week to pay it.
I hope this will not take to long as soon can be a very long time

I'm for Tax, the reasons have already been mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
It doesn't need to be greater then 10% if it's transactional based (which is the the only logical way to implement it).
I think there are too many greedy people who are about self gain over the bigger picture. The ability to ask any question (whether it can be answered or not) is worth the Corp (support) Tax alone. Seems people would like to be part of a Corp with all the trimmings but not foot the bill.

For tax or against tax, it really doesn't matter what side of the argument you brandish your railgun, laser or Projectile weapon from. The whole point of the matter is in the blurb for corporations in Exodus CCP mention corp tax as one of the features. My character has been alive for a whole year now, and in that time Corp Tax has always been mentioned as a corporation feature. It's STILL not working and no one at CCP has mentioned anything about it. False Advertising is I believe illegal. If you say something is in, it should be in, or a reason given as to why it's not.
Will I quit the game in disgust? Nope. Just another blip on the road to galactic conquest. I would however request an update from CCP on this non existent feature. Either put it in people, or remove all mention of it from your documentation.

I absolutley agree! I started a week or two after release and I've been missing the corp tax ever since. Please prioritize it a bit more...
Also I see no reason to limit it to 10%. If a corp wants to be all out communistic (or whatever kind of *-ism it might correspond to), let them!
A problem however might be traders who buy, ship and sell goods for only a couple of percent gain after the brokers fee etc. Even if 1% is a very small number, it would take huge chunks out of the profit for them.

To be honest, if someone is selling ore or minerals for the corp, they should be using the "Use Corp Wallet" feature anyhow... 
So the taxes are not really relevant to that.
As for sales, I'd like to see at least one decimal place for taxes too - so you you want to have 0.1% of members' sales, it would be possible (that's 1 ISK in the 1,000 - enough for larger corps to pay for factories and labs without really taxing their members. It also allows for finer tuning, such as 2.5% tax (25 Isk in the 1k).
I think that taxes would help the larger corps to run their POS more easily - if you can generate enough ISK a week through taxes, the POS would be pure profit for the corp... without too much of a burden through taxes and would probably free all of their corp members from ice mining if desired. Assuming 1,000 members, each member would only need to generate 100k each - not too difficult... especially when each kill or sale of minerals generates a few ISK each time.
Of course, nobody's forcing a corp to adopt it, but it would help a lot for those who want it.

I was quite looking forward to this being implemented in Exodus - it would make my life much easier. Corp tax and the ever-elusive wallet export feature.
It seems that much of the nuts and bolts, make life easier stuff got relegated in favour of the shiny stuff with more of a wow factor. I can't really blame the devs for that tbh. Imagine them trying to sell Exodus on the basis of corp tax implementation, role/title management etc rather than POS, new ships, new interface, and improved agent stuff.
Once they squish some of the more prominent bugs, and balance projectiles, I really hope they spend some time on some of the basic things like corp tax, missing blueprints, and the whole contraband/criminal flagging debacle before they start introducing more new features.

Another vote for CORP TAX (promised by CCP long time ago)
Also I would like to add...
1) BPs lockdown in the divisions (not in the useless containers... or allow research to use those containers) 2) Divisions wallet (promissed for Exodus and removed by-last-minute-dot-com).
But above all implement once for all the CORP TAX. Many thanks

If you don't cater to your clients, you don't have clients :)
True, but just looking on this forum, there are many other things players want now, so if all these things get bumped up the todo list, the list kinda stays the same!
They don't have the excuse not to prioritise, they do have the excuse to be slightly less than godlike in their abilities (devs ARE still only human, after all).

Quite true...
If they were Gods then we will not see so many Bugs and things that were working before stop working after a patch/upgrade.
Quite true ur affirmation Devs are human
But I also reckon that DEVS should not pretend to be politicians... coz Politicians are the ones that promise things that they know that they will not deliver.

This is really besides the point as Corp Tax was in the game before and then taken out and CCP have been saying that they are going to be brining it back ever since.

I agree that trying to sell Exodus on the Corporation Tax System and other Corp Imporovements would be rather difficult but wouldnt you agree that at this point in time we are paying for an unfinished product. It doesnt matter wether people agree with Corporation Tax or not or wether they feel other things should be implemented first. We were promised all of these Corp improvements and many other things aswell that we have still not got.

Whats annoying me more than anything else is the lack of feedback.
No word from the devs at all about what is happening no news its like they have just left us. Its not just corep tax that people would like to know what is going on. It would be nice if someone let us know about lag server issues new patch timeframe anything.
But not a ****ie bird of a reply. Devs time to show u are here and working on the problems let us know some answers please we as customers do deserve this at least.

Well its nice to see the devs are alive (news about the new ships), but maybe they havnt been listening.
Devs before you start introducing new ships and other toys introduce the things you have been promising so that what we were expecting exodus to be can be accumplished. BTW I know Titans have been talked about for a long time too.
Come on Devs this game isnt just about ships its also much more than that let us know what your doing to fix all the things that havnt been brought out in the beta program we seem to be paying for.

Depends on the corp you are running. Works for those that are more like a clan with buddies. For very large industrial corps automated corp tax would help tremendously. To put it simply, CCP has not been able to implement tools to grow megacorps so the administrative burden becomes impossible once a certain size is reached.
Corp tax and automatic bill payment is a priority. Internal corp markets would be cool as well.
I agree that RL corp life is something to be avoided. Putting in a max of features to facilitate growing large corps in the game would help many CEO characters in avoiding precisely that.

Jump drives are suppose to come out this year with some of the new ships (like Titans)
if we actuelly see them this year is another matter entirely

Corp tax needs to be in. They promised it. It was in the blurb for exodus. It's not here.
I'll ***** and whine about paying the taxes my corp sets when it's in. However I'll have the option of leaving the corp if I disagree with the policy.
Get Corp tax working and żmplemented CCP. Broken promises and ignoring your customers is whats known as a BAD thing.

Im fairly new, but I have to agree, as previously mentioned, the administrative burden of running an Industrial Megacorp would currently be very, very heavy, as even if you impose a weekly tax in ISK form, in a corp of over 100 members keeping track of who has and who has not payed would be a full-time job.

Still many features that were supposed to be brought in with exoduse are not in, including corp tax. This has now become a joke am i having the XXss taken out of me well yes it looks like i am. Customers to ccp dont seem to mean much many new ones out there well they wont stay long if CCP dont buck thier ideas up. CCP Sort out the features you have promised stop developing new ones till u have delivered what has been promised, I mean how simple is it dont place a feature into the description if u cant deliver.

I think that a corporate and alliance income tax is a very good idea, tbh a flat tax on income and not assets is the way to go in my opinion. A % rate is much fairer to new and old players, especially as really apart from ammo all Eve income is practically disposable and hence the situation is less like real life in that respect.
As a director in one corp and a CEO of another (via an alt) it would help tremendously just to be able to set a flat rate of say .5 or 1% and use that money to aquire things like ship BPO's etc.

Exactly, why should a few of the best members in a corp have to pay for everyone elses cheap ships with donations. A flat percentage-based income tax is the best way forward, both on the corporation and alliance levels, its also the fairest way to deal with contributions from casual players.

This thread is now 7 pages long so its obviously important and about time someone from the dev team gave us some idea of when or if it will happen. If its not going to be implimented maybe its time to find a game thats fairer on new players. No it doesnt mean im leaving just yet so u cant have my stuff

Well Im bored of this lack of Dev care now. Devs seem to have two things on thier minds. One getting new players in game with advertising and not worry about the impact on the servers which can hardly handle the load as it is. Two new content without caring about the things they havnt brought in that have been promised. Devs time to get ya fingers out fix these things get stuff implimented this would have kept old players about and new players whouldnt have been such a problem. Its time to talk devs the inability of you guys talking to the community is starting to hurt you guys seriously. Ive noticed a few of our corp are leaving or just getting bored and not logging on now. This being caused by the lack of love the devs and CCP show the community. Devs sort it out give us info even if its to keep people from leaving, use ya brains a little chat would go a long way.

So are we being told that features not implimented in exodus are not to be released and made to work until the next major content patch, yet bringing in other things is coming in. Oh well CCP can start to kiss goodbye to many people I know who play eve. Shame really the numbers of people Ive been able to play with has gone down a lot guess this will make it even harder to play with friends. CCP u have made some major c Ups and some good things but releasing a product without features that are in the feature page has been one of your biggest, disserpointing a lot of fans.

Arg, how long could it possibly take to get this system working? There have been literally a dozen times corp tax was stated to "be in the upcoming patch" only to have it be a no show. Perhaps there was just some poor internal communication? I remember back when the Devs avtually had IRC chats with community reps this was said to be a somewhat simple job and yet I've been around since Beta waiting for it to come in (as well as a few other simple things).
I'm getting REALLY fed up having to hold out the tin cup to my own corporation and ask for donations to our corp wallet.

Taxes should get priority - maybe not first, but definitely up in the important section of the todo-list.
5 or 6 from our corporation have worked themselves senseless trading to keep the ISK rolling in so we can build the ships and pay the insurances and other costs of waging war. Only 2 of them still play eve. We need a way for all corp members to chip in and sustain the flow of free modules and funds for supporting the new players.
It would really make a great difference to a lot of corporations if Tax was implemented - even if just on bounties or market transactions. It does not have to be perfect from day one - just workable. --------------------------------------------- When you have to kill a man, it takes nothing to be polite |

After yet another blog on how we will make some changes to the game, i and a lot of people i think will be diserpointed to learn that promised features are not really cared about. CCP pull ya fingers out of whatever and think about what u have promised before u released Exodus and deliver these features before u introduce major changes that we didnt ask for. People want new features to be brought in that they have waited for not new ways of getting around space nerfing all yourt instras and our knowledge of space, give your customers what they want first and formost. Listen to and read their posts its all been about features that havnt been included, take the cotton wool out of your ears and take your blind fold off before u really lose more people.

Edited by: Attrezzo Pox on 23/02/2005 22:59:42 w3rd corp tax would be nice to finally have
I think that it's not on the immediate list though because they're grouping things together. Propulsion and EW did need some work so they're going to overhaul that system, then Jumps into low security. Get the money flowing right and the overall flow working first. Working on doing something about blobs obvioudly that seems to be an issue. I think Corp management has just been grouped up as needed a overhaul but it just so happens to take a backseat again to other functionality. I'm sure it's on their list though otherwise it wouldn't be in the game.
The thing is if you work on corp management first you may have to come back to it because of all the crap they're changing with warp points and overall gameplay. Just working from the bottom up. Anyway that's the way I see it. |

Does any one know if or when the auto corporate tax system will be made to actually work? If this cannot be made to work then it is only fair that CCP end it's auto taxation also.
I could go into a long winded diatribe in economic theory, real life emulation, etc but I won't. It is simply a question of fairnes if it can't be made to benefit us by making it work for us then it is unfair for it to only work for a system that exists soley as an unseen entity simply their to collect a tax which then dissappears into the vast nothingness of the EVE galaxy.

I guess that ccp at the moment is a very little team. At the moment the peeps that had or has this ide might not even work there any more, or have taken other tasks.
The point is that they have no time to get all they have promised done. It is like candy, to keep all of us playing. That is also why they have all this Chat meetings, to tell us this is coming and that is coming. And when they releases a new patch (9 months later) it has about 1/3 of what they have promised.
They will never tell you why the 2/3 didn't make it, because that will be looking like a loss for them, in your eyes. So if you ask you will get no answhere, or just a this will come soon
Sorry this is the hard life of EVE boys. But at least they do something.

Skipping the flaming and abuse.....
That is a good point Ethan, but i believe the main difference is that the 'auto taxation' is CCP set, where as the Corp Tax is CEO set.
Not all CEO's are as trustworthy as yourself, so certain limits and restrictions would have to be set to prevent abuse. For example linking taxation increases into a voting system or something of the like.
A sudden increase in taxation could screw over people not paying attention
This is likely to be a programming thing, and as has been said, the programming department is currently fixing bugs with already included features.
Hopefully as soon as thats done we will get the taxation system, multiple corp accounts, contracts etc etc
Meh, for now just fly around and blow stuff up  I have supped the milk of human kindness, and discovered i am lactose intolerant |

You are the only one flaming here, which means you deserve this 
Corp tax needs to be in though, and like someone said, would have thought there would have been some dev responce after 10 pages. In the dev chat I think they said it was on their to do list, but would be nice if we could get an eta or summat.

Well there ya have it, they will make it a priority after fixing bugs, and that will take as long as it takes.
Seriously, when it comes to fixing bugs, by ironing one out you may create another 3..its just too hard to predict.
ANY timeframe provided more specific then 'we aim to have it in by this season' would be a guess...not a schedule.
So now that we have an answer, and a 10 odd page thread that the devs must have seen..do we really need to keep posting.
We know that the taxation is the next thing after the bugs have been ironed out. Anything else put in here would just be whineing about the lack of an exact schedule.
Of course as customers we are allowed to register complaints.Have you considered mailing CCP directly?I mean if you actually want to register a complaint and are not just coming here to ***** and moan thats what you should do.
Im starting to get a beer belly every time i read the general discussion forum..to much whine.

I think it's more to do with the total lack of communication of any sort. We knew the corp tax was beign looked at, but atm I think quite a few people are feeling ignored. Not a great way to keep your customers happy when all it needed was for a dev to come here and say "look guys, we are really up to the eyeballs in it atm, after we get the critical bugs out of the way this issue will be the first thing we look at". As it is, I seem to get the mentaility that if they ignore it, it will go away. Sorry Devs, aint gonna happen.

A dev answer (or ISD) back on page 3 would have been alot better than this thread reaching over 10 pages with no response and someone (that obiusly have been paying more attention than me as I missed that one) not in any way related to CCP finally digging up a answer for us

Originally by: Kar Brogan Seriously, when it comes to fixing bugs, by ironing one out you may create another 3..its just too hard to predict.
I have to disagree with this as a professional developer. We introduce new features into our system every month. The amount of bugs we introduce into the system in any given quarter can be counted on one hand and have plenty of fingers to spare.
Eve is a more complicated system by far, but the way that you prevent bugs from entering into your application is very simple: Get all your functionality under test, and run the tests against your code very often. When developing, I'll run the tests against the entire set of code over ten times a day while developing. I run them before I start a new feature. I run them to help me develop the feature. I run them when I'm done to be sure. I run them again before I leave for the day. If anything fails, I don't stop until it's fixed.
I doubt CCP does test-driven development, but they really should. ---------------

i wonder if CCP are making a large profit or if to control costs they need to hire a smaller team which slows development
An outcome would be for all of us to get across other internet forums etc and promote this game to new players as much as possible - get more paying players in and therefore increase the revenues - CCP could invest more in developers etc and even new technology etc.
But i think in the meantime a) getting their test server accessible to more players so we can feedback - then that reduces bugs (increases bug reporting) before new changes hit the mainstream game - ived deleted my cache and still get failed to access. b) get involved in the dev team discussion threads with diversified but positive contributions and ideas c) atm they are working on EW,Warp propulsion and now ammo changes - this is getting into the guts of the game - though some more content would be helpful d) corp tax can be set up with agreement now that all corp members make regular donations ? - group mining, hunting, trading etc
Its a system that will take some time however give it 3 - 6 months and then if CCP havent done it start complaining again

reviving this thread as we now have a new Dev blog AND STILL NO NEW TAX
last I heard (second hand source granted) was that the next patch (after they where done fixing bugs) would be the one where they would be working on the corp tax
what do we get more agent missions (glad to see them)
stealht bombers (who cares)
new world order (would rather have the old world order (ega taxes) working)
consensual wars (yeah I agree that one is as importient as the taxes)
more lab slots (that will be insanely expensive (although those are neded))
again no corp taxes
come on pls Oveur we got 11 pages here with onle 2 ppl saying they dont want taxes (and my personal opinion is thay dont understand what corp tax is all about)

Pointless post.
No comments from devs about corp tax ever == devs don't want to implement something they promised, and are hoping the "problem" goes away.
I want corp tax in as promised but tbh I don't see it happening.
Just another broken promise from CCP is all
You know what would make me happy?, apart from blondes, money (normally mutually exclusive) and long life? A comment from the devs saying either "ok our bad, we are working on it" or "stfu it's not going to happen cos it's too hard". Either or, i'm not fussy; just so long as I know where CCP stand on the corp tax question.

So if we were larger, and had dedicated ice miners, yeah I think 100+ million a week profit is doable. But we dont rely just on the POS for money, we 0.0 hunt, some manufacturing, very little mining, and loot sales supply most of the corps funds.
So taxes from corp members would not be good. Counter productive, and harm the corp morale more then anything else.

well thats very simple all your CEO would have to do is set the corp tax for 0.0%
why would that bother anyone
the corp tax that we want is ajusteble from 0.0% to 100.0% if you are in a corp that have high tax you are free to leave but ultimatly the Tax will be up to the CEO of your corp and the Aliance (if such a thing as aliance tax comes in with the corp tax)

Corporate Tax System
Almost 6 months ago the Exodus patch was supposed to include an auto tax paid back to the corporation on all market transactions of corpies within their corporation.
CEO's were to be able to create a market transaction tax of 1%, 2% 3% etc. These transactions included anything regarding a transaction of buying and selling on the market. This tax percentage would have been auto deducted from the corp. member who initiated the transaction then paid back to the corp. they belong to.
While we do have the ability to create the tax it does not work. It does not take a financial genius to see just how much we as corporations have lost not only in not being able to benefit from this tax within our corporations but the looses paid to the CCP tax..
Even the individual player looses in the current system. I think any one reading this would rather their tax go back to their corporation than no where.
Any one can plainly see just how much we as corporations and individuals have lost.
Many of us as individual players and CEOĘs are tired of the financial drain both by over sights of corpies forgetting to pay and a tax system which profits no one and causes an imbalance in an already over stressed economy.
Throughout history ALL governments have existed on systems of taxations. Tax systems are a fundamental building block of any successful economy. To deny one here is to condemn the world of eve to economic depressions and inflations and many more to financial ruin .
Yes all the new bells and whistles are great but lets fix some of the ones that need to be fixed first.
The Corporate tax system needs to be implemented. If you cant or wonĘt get it to work for player corporations then stop all the taxes now.!
It is pointless to have a tax system pay an invisible non relevant entity - CCP - into a vast pool of nothingness that benefits no one and undermines the efforts of CEOs to try to run their corps on a merit basis because the Corp tax doesn't work.
If we are truly emulating real life then it is only fair to assume a two sided tax system.
Please CCP help us help you for all of us.

one comment though
the corp Tax will be in Addition to the SCC fees (transaction tax) and that Tax does not go nowhere as you say it actuelly goes to getting some ISK back out of the game (and I for one thinks it needs to be higher than it is but thats off subject) also it supposely finance the NPC buy orders

I totally support the idea of a working corporation tax system. Life would be much easier with it and everyone will donate as much isk to the corp as he/she can afford (if the tax rate is set to a reasonable limit). Actions on the market are taxed without any gain for the people's corporation. The possibility for players to tax other players (corp tax) would be greatly appreciated.

You have to wonder why corp tax has not been implimented.
A taxation system transfering a % of your money from sales already exists, as to does the ability to transfer money from your personal wallet to the corp wallet, so the further work to impliment an automated system that calculates a % of your income and then automatically transfers it to the corp wallet should not be that great.
There must be SOME reason why it has not been implemented yet..i just wish CCP would fill us in on why .
The only thing that i can think of is that CCP is still struggling with providing corps multiple accounts and that they want to tie the taxation system in with this, so they are holding up the latter untill the former is finished and polished. I have supped the milk of human kindness, and discovered i am lactose intolerant |

Either or, i'm not fussy; just so long as I know where CCP stand on the corp tax question.
Exactly. Just either "whoops, this is taking longer than we thought, new ETA is..." or "it's not working, forget it" but as it is, the devs reaction to us verges on benign contempt and they seem PROUD of their inability to deliver what was promised (they market a ******* T-Shirt about it FFS!). _____________________________________________ The most pessimistic sod in Eve, and proud of it

corp tax is a simple way to automate an income for the corporation. manual trades & donations takes up valuable playing time. If a corp overtaxes, it'll lose people. But a small tax, even a 1% tax could go a long way to providing some finances & freeing up playing time for the leadership of a corp.
If you don't like it you wouldn't have to participate, but it would certainly be a nice option.
additionally, It would be nice if you could assign different tiers of taxes based on official corp titles. Basically it'd be nice if you could put very new players into a tax-exempt status when they start out. not neccessary as we typically help fund the newer players anyways, but it'd still be a nice option.

yep what he said
A few ppl seam to be under the impresion that the corp ax would be forced at everyone it is not so
the CEO of each corp can already set the Tax rate for a corp (it just dont work) and if you dont like Tax simply leave it at 0%
also not just market transactions are suppose to be taxable the old Shiva (coming soon) pages had like 10 Deferent setting that could each be ajusted from Market transactions to agent rewards it just did not make it into Shiva
all I am asking is that this extremely usefull tool are implemented IF an Aliance tax are Implemented at the samme time so much the better but the corp tax must be put in ASAP

Don't want to relate this to RL, but i guess i have to...if you joined a company like microsoft, would you pay them to work for them? no, they would pay you.
Yeah but in RL the company would get to keep everything you make and earn. So hand over all your agent mission rewards, all the ore you mined, all the loot you got NPC hunting. Hand over any tech 2 blueprints since any R&D IP would be owned by the company aswell.
In return you get minimal wage, and a crappy pension plan you can claim when your 65 .
ok I didn't read the whole thread yet but basically I 100% agree with this guy and am 100% in favor of corp tax ASAP.

I have to agree too. The devs seem to spend far too much time messing about with the balance, and not enough time sorting these valuable game enhancements. I for one think its about time things mentioned in this post where added. Company taxes IMO is simply one more thing on an increasingly long list of things that need to be sorted.
It should all be about content rather than balance. So what if a laser has more DOT than a hybrid. You are not forced to use and particular type of weapon or ship. I think variation in weapons adds more variation in game play. Poeple are leaving the game simply because there is not enough content to keep them satisfied.
I worry that there will be very little new content untill the next big patch, which i guess will be towards the end of the year. By that time many more of my friends will have left, and maybe me too.

Edited by: Hakera on 21/03/2005 08:52:08 I actually got emailed to ask about tax in the upcoming dev chat and I'll just give my own thoughts here. A tax system is rightly a complex thing because income/expenditure are equally complex. The first problem you face is defining:
what is income?
Now immediatly things start to get complex as you look at your own wallets and you will see some principle income:
Donations from players Sales from market Rewards from npc's
So then you define the problem of the next question is that really income? Lets have an example. Im a trader doing some simple trade, say a 100mill overhead which generates 10% profit. Now lets see what the wallet sees:
-100million -500,000 market tax +110million
The problem should be obvious from that; the tax system of greedy fatcat ceo sees the 110 million income and whack whatever tax on that. The problem is, it isnt income at all. Only 9.5million is actual income, but poor trader is going to get taxed on all 110mill because our model system isnt as complex or efficient at linking income and expediture from 'projects' and generating a linked net income.
Next scenario -- you have alts, you like the transfer isk between them, sadly player donations yet again - taxed because its an inflow into your wallet. Does a CEO really deserve a slice of that? Same for production - you buy minerals, a bpc and make a ship, your net income is 5mill per ship, but wallet sees a 55mill income.
In otherwords activities which 'churn' your wallet would be taxed to high hell and back.
Problem number 2: Income in Eve? is it always in isk?
answer, no, income is in the form of assets as well. Be it ore/minerals/loot you name it. So the amount a person is taxed does not take account of assets or activites which generate assets rather than isk. So a system based on isk would be skewed towards isk heavy activities whilst a person hording assets (who could then transfer them to alt not with corp tax to sell them).
Overall the result is, without an outright adequatly complex system, corp tax simply wont work. Its either too basic and unfair or too complex & to realistic code. I just dont think you will ever see corp tax Im afraid. Perhaps a role dependant player 'bill' might be more useful. One that strips a members roles if they dont stump up a flat fee.
Just my 2 cents.

Improved Tax system
In EXODUS the corporation tax system will be restored and extended. Instead of having one flat percentage for all member financial transactions, corporation can now specify a percentage value from 0% - +10% for each of the ref.keys defined in the EVE Accounting system. This allows corporations to, for example, tax agent mission rewards but not market transactions.

Well in the first place a doubt a CEO as greedy as this would last very long nor would his corp.
Many of us on the other hand run a collective corporation which reflects the needs of it's members and the corporation as a whole.
I think the only ones that this would affect are the CEO's who already exploit their members.
This system would force many of them to be "MORE" accountable to their members.
i.e. tax revolts and such. :)

They should place tax in and allow each corp to make tax based on the journal entries they wish to tax.
You can not look at taxes on income. You should only worry about takes on transactions.
You should be taxed when you buy something isk or give isk. NPC should tax thier members at 25% soo no more alt players. A player making bounties or selling goods does not benifit the player only when the player spends that isk does it.

Oh we so know they're reading this, anything that seems to get over five pages in responses seems to garner interest.
I do like the idea of the CEO being able to decide what transactions are taxed. Perhaps inter-corporate trading and transfers could be not taxed, and everything external would be?
Of course, no system made by people is perfect. But, just because it's not perfect or solvable utterly does not mean it's a problem to ignore. A step in the right direction is better than a thumb up the orifice of your choosing.

Some good points there, Dumble...er, Hakera. A high level of tax on transactions would be quite harsh. A CEO would have to set the taxes at a similar rate to the current market taxes we already pay, otherwise free trade would be hampered for corp members and it would act as a disincentive (if that's a word).
Overall, the advantages of Corp Tax far outweigh any disadvantages though. A corporation should exist to make money for its shareholders. At the moment, getting a working business model for a manufacturing/trading company is quite difficult to achieve without a high overhead of admin. A flat tax on player-generated revenues will guarantee an income for the corp in an equitable way as long as players earn money for themselves by whatever means.
As it stands, people that devote their time to running agent missions are seen as pretty much selfish, solo players interms of corp activity. With a modest tax on agent rewards, they instantly become a valuable asset to the corp, without having to rely on them making occasional donations. They can contribute automatically to the financing of BPO's etc. without having to get involved in aspects of the game they are not interested in. Everyone's a winner.
My tax plan would be to tax Market Transactions at 1%, and Agent Mission Rewards at 5%. This should give quite a nice little income from an average-sized corp with members doing some mining, building, trading, and agent-running for themselves.
What I wonder is what happens if you set a tax rate on things like Repair Bill or Insurance? Does it become an extra cost for the individual player on top of what they are paying? Or does it effectively mean that the Corp ends up paying that % out to the player? If it turned out to be the second option, that could be a nice touch if the corp ends up contributing to some of your costs.

At the moment, getting a working business model for a manufacturing/trading company is quite difficult to achieve without a high overhead of admin. A flat tax on player-generated revenues will guarantee an income for the corp in an equitable way as long as players earn money for themselves by whatever means.
As it stands, people that devote their time to running agent missions are seen as pretty much selfish, solo players interms of corp activity. With a modest tax on agent rewards, they instantly become a valuable asset to the corp, without having to rely on them making occasional donations. They can contribute automatically to the financing of BPO's etc. without having to get involved in aspects of the game they are not interested in. Everyone's a winner.
My tax plan would be to tax Market Transactions at 1%, and Agent Mission Rewards at 5%. This should give quite a nice little income from an average-sized corp with members doing some mining, building, trading, and agent-running for themselves.
What I wonder is what happens if you set a tax rate on things like Repair Bill or Insurance? Does it become an extra cost for the individual player on top of what they are paying? Or does it effectively mean that the Corp ends up paying that % out to the player? If it turned out to be the second option, that could be a nice touch if the corp ends up contributing to some of your costs.
again I think you are kinda missing the Point
CCP will not be setting the corp taxes your induvidial CEO will
if you do not trust your CEO (or dont want to pay the tax your CEO asignes) its time for you to leave the corp you are in as simple as that
also I would prefer that a corp tax could be set from 0% to 100% on each of the 10 items as described on Shiva features page (will allow comunistic style CEO's)
the corp tax should be changeble by the CEO of a corp (like it is now (only it does not work))
however each CEO (if this is ever put in) will be able to set any amount of tax per deferent thing
like for example JB (my CEO) can set agent running Tax to 8% and tax from bounty'es to 5 and transaction to 3% (these are just exambles)

Seems to me, if you could kill something with a Corporate Tax then CCP would give it some consideration, along with Divisional Wallets.
I keep looking for both of those every patch...
And looking... And looking...

Yes, please implement the ability to use the corp tax, CCP.
Honestly, I don't see why anyone would want to deny this function, since the tax could be set to 0%, eg.; No Corp Tax, depending on the corp.

Originally by: jbob2000 personally, i think it doesnt make sense to have corp tax. i mean think about it. you joined a corporation, and you should be getting payed, not paying the corp. Don't want to relate this to RL, but i guess i have to...if you joined a company like microsoft, would you pay them to work for them? no, they would pay you.
hmm your right except for the following things. 1. IF your corp has offices who is paying for that. 2. If you belong to a corp and you only mine or make isk for yourself and never really give to your corp how can the corp pay for offices and labs and factories. 3. The sharing of stuff in hangers are paid from corp. Insured ships from the corp. Who pays for them.
When I was with my other corp the corp paid for all that. And we did corp mining and other corp stuff and the mins went to the corp for production. The Corp made my frigs and cruisers so I could pvp. And that was awesome. But there was a few peeps who did alot of stuff off on there own and would come and mine for 15 minutes then had to goto the store. NOT FAIR. So the corp tax would pay for all the things that the corp needs and more. And the corp would not have to worry about coming up with the isk for 15mil a month rents that CCP charges now. {which sucks.}
But whether or not your corp charges tax is an option and A well needed thing for corps.
These are my views and only my views.

Tax could be in the form of a bill, like for an office or lab slot. If you don't pay it, you get kicked from the corp automatically. Scamproof? Yes. You have to authorise the payment. Grieferproof? No. But it's not worse than being invited to a corp and blown up.
I think it would also be easy for CCP to make it so that CEOs can choose not to bill people who have inactive accounts. Or finally if you want to be really cautious, have a corp vote on the matter where at least 50% of votes (NOT shares) have to be there to implement tax.
TBH I cant see any holes in this. And I dont think it would be hard to implement.

Edited by: Quanteeri on 29/03/2005 20:31:24 I think making it a bill would make things too complicated, cause people would actually have to do something hands-on. IMO, it should be an automatic deduction from any funds that are received(with the possiblity of different fund types, as mentioned earlier). This would allow the corps to have a fairly steady flow of cash, instead of a payday. That would also automatically facilitate not taxing inactive members, because they are not actively making ISK. though, I do agree, it should be set up something like locking down BPO's, where as to unlock or change the tax rate, the share holders would have to vote.

Billing would be too cumbersome... But, an automatic deduction for transactions would work very well. I also like the idea of the tax being set through shareholders voting.
Either way it would enhance a Corps ability for income from all of it's members, regardless of what they are doing, be it mining, combat, agent running, etc. Having all transactions taxed with a setable amount only makes sense. ________________________________________________ From deep in space where nobody hears my screams...

Originally by: MaiLina KaTar Pffft. When it comes out it'll be screwed to hell and back anyway... just like POS.
I'm actually pretty excited about what kind of ubernerf, bug or logical error they'll come up with once they dish out corp-tax.
Matter of fact: Thousands of corporations would benefit greatly from this feature and it's a shame that it isn't ingame more than a year and a half after the game went live.
Well I remember when it did come out, was totaly buged alowing players to earn billions from it and got quickly taken out again, so I think it scared the pants off ccp and their to scared to go near it. 
But it needs to be ingame asap, just do it carfully next time  ==================================================

I too would like to see dividends working and a stock market I think itĘs the way to go.
Give more stock to the harder working corp. members then pay out dividends each month
But what I would really like to see is corp. owned items just think you dock at your corp.Ęs office click on corp. fitting room pick a corp. ship then pick corp. modĘs to fit the corp. ship from another list and your ready to go.
Corp. own ships and modĘs can not be sold on the market itĘs a great way for members to share asset with out worrying to much about corp. theft and itĘs a great way to grow a corp. too.

I think this is the third time i've signed this same thread in the last six months. I'll continue to sign it every month or so until it's implemented. I'm only so insistent because I think it's the most reasonable request to CCP I've ever seen. It can't be that hard to implement, and there are no downsides. If you don't want it, don't use it, simple.

Instead of a new ship class, perhaps corp tax could be implemented first?

I think a choice would be nice, it could be actve after a vote, with a 7 day wait period before it comes into force, an e-mail should be sent to all members before its implemented, and there should be a uper limit of lets say 25% . Also to safe gard the members any change to the tax rate needs a vote and again a waiingt period of 7 days

Corp tax is supposed to let the CEO decide what to tax. From agent rewards to market transactions, bounties, bonus rewards, etc. It's entirely customizeable and up to the individual corp whether to use it at all or not.
