Why is mining not taxed?
I know this question is going to make me unpopular with a lot of miners, but I think its a valid question, because mission runners and ratters are taxed.
To answer the question of where, it would be at the station, the corp could take its cut at the refinery; now i know this would take a bit of trust, but its better than nothing.

I guess its just odd to me that I have the mechanism to tax my ratters easily and for free, but the miners who make more work for me than the ratters cannot be taxed unless I have 0.0 sov and a 60 billion isk station.
Something just doesn't seem right.

so, what you guys are telling me is that its the mission runner's responsibility to pay for our POS which we use to manufacture the miner's ore into useful things?
That doesn't seem right to me; if thats the case, what incentive do I ever have to have miners in my corp? I understand that I can make a corp rule to hand over some of their ore, but why is there no in game way to regulate this?

actually wrong on both accounts, Im a Orca/Rorqual pilot with all relevant skills to level 5. I also mine on occasion.
I simply think its a bit inconsistent to have a tax for one of the professions and not for another.
Again, EVE is unfettered capitalism; from a CEO's standpoint, which would you rather have? Mission runners who take no work and make the corp money, or miners who take all kinds of work (especially in 0.0) and make the corp nothing?

Edited by: Sigras on 25/12/2010 21:44:54 well obviously all things in game are made from minerals, but you've clearly missed my point.
If im paying my miners full price for their minerals with no tax then my miners still provide me no advantage because i may as well just buy them from someone else.
I also understand that I can buy from my miners at a discount, my question is, for the last time:
Why is there no automatic way to do this as you do with ratting?
in short, ratters make me isk and cause me very little grief; miners make me no isk and cause me all kinds of grief.

Originally by: Keta Fraal Wait a ******* minute!
Governments tax. Corporations employ labour.
What is wrong with this picture you guys are painting about Eve's corporate capitalism?
Well thats kinda where all of this came from; I was wondering if an absolutely true capitalist corp would work in Eve where the tax is 100% etc but the corp members get paid instead of getting taxed . . . the only problem is there is no way to do that with miners
additionally, people keep saying "but the miners provide you with materials which are better than ISK" BULL, they provide me nothing because they keep 100% of the minerals they mine, they provide me with nothing.
Additionally, in 0.0 they expect the corp the haul and refine the stuff. I figure I could make an outpost out here, but its yet another thing our ratters will have to pay for.

you guys seem to be missing my actual question
my question is why does EvE give an automated process to tax mission runners and not give an automated process to tax miners.
The reason I think this is a valid question is, just because of the nature of mining, they take more corp logistics.
