Pay Less Tax!! || EVE Online

[@victuss1413]

Instructions unclear: I am now in jail for tax evasion in the United States.

So the formula for broker tax is: 3% - (0.3%*BrokerRelationsLevel) - (0.03%*FactionStanding) - (0.02%*CorpStanding). So we have a basic 3%, we can subtract 1,5% by Broker Relations at 5. The max we can get from Faction standing at 10.0 is 0,3% and from Corporation standing at 10.0 is 0,2%. So to sum that up subtract 1,5% from skill and 0,5% from faction+corp... the lowest possible in the game is 1% broker tax. Important side note - it only counts in basic standing numbers and ignores Connections and Diplomacy skills. Additionally, if you sell stuff in Upwell stations which are player ones, all these taxes go into a corporation that owns the station) taxes routed to npc stations are probably burnt as you said in the guide.

[@selimsarbas4443]

Best way to evade tax is to be in a decent corp. with decent buyback policy.

[@captainbenzie]

This also works!!

[@Kandrakar83]

My favourite topic - "Tax Evasion!". Thnx mate.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you liked it!

[@bentlaporte4255]

Aye aye Captain Benzie! Started playing EVE last December and I absolutely love your videos. They've encouraged me to chart my own course. Thank you and fly safe!

[@captainbenzie]

Glad to hear it!

[@JamesGarner-dn2mk]

Thank you Captain, you've saved me so much ISK.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad to help!

[@kiritokun7474]

In a big alliance or maybe via local you could also sell expensive things with Private contracts and never pay tax..

[@captainbenzie]

Absolutely

[@herzallerliebst]

I learned, that I can inject skill point via right click... tyvm

[@captainbenzie]

Glad to help!

[@RealLifeMassMultiplayerRPG]

i trade jita since start of eve you have a quick and nice voice tonality, youll be amazing talking market and trade it can be boring and grindy and your voice and attitude might help new player get comfy with it problem trading is you share your secret and your lose the profit (offer demand.. if everyone copy your offer, less profit down the cost competing each other) (if everyone copy your demand, price raise, lower profit) i love trading but cant talk about my items and strategy (i have advanced strategy that exploit the basic strategy, but often it create a duel of stagnation no profit)

[@RealLifeMassMultiplayerRPG]

5:00 plex also destroy isk (create isk value) cause bought plex end up consumed and the isk is destroyed, even if someone buy eve plex and sell fo isk, it just mov ehte isk payer to player plexing with isk is great isk sink item and ship destruction obviously hehe

[@morkyork6675]

A really important one: Want to play solo and not be part of a corporation? Make your own corp just for you, otherwise you're paying the starter corporation 10% sales tax for no reason. Make your own and it's 0%!

[@captainbenzie]

Great tip!

[@giuseppeviscomi7033]

Good to know! I have to raise Caldari standing!

[@captainbenzie]

You should!

[@selimgure]

Oh, you mean in-game. I'll definitely do that once I get out.

[@captainbenzie]

Lmao

[@michaelbobek3543]

Taxes suck… both in EVE and real life. But necessary

[@PenguinWithaGun32]

Just commit tax fruad with the money you save you will be able to pay your bail.

[@captainbenzie]

True and true!

[@smokinggun8418]

I'm trying to wrap my head around standings. And don't understand why bother with faction standing at all if tax reduction and mission agents come corporation who loves you anyway as long as you do smth for them.

[@captainbenzie]

Selling at Jita, for example, your corp tax doesn't affect. That's just about your ISK earnings. And it's additional reduction on top of the skills.

[@thorstenfautz4611]

thx for the great Video Very usefull!!

[@captainbenzie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Renovartio]

> when you been selling stuff in jita with negative rep

[@captainbenzie]

😂 it's minor but it adds up!

[@trildie]

As far as i can see, you need Broker Relations IV before you can train into Accounting

[@captainbenzie]

I didn't have it before training. You see that in this video

[@hawkerlc]

i'm pretty sure there's a calculator in game

[@captainbenzie]

There used to be for sure, but this was funnier

[@VertexxGaming]

Love the content!

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you!

[@mattstrauchon6756]

Yeah taxes!

[@captainbenzie]

🥳

[@futureisnow236]

ohh what's that ship?

[@captainbenzie]

The humble Tayra

[@unkownwizard6028]

Lol tax evasion

[@captainbenzie]

😂

[@TheTungdil2]

Good lord I hate taxes mate.

[@captainbenzie]

Don't we all but s necessary thing in real life. Just a shame so many large entities get away without paying their fair

[@bjack1547]

Does this require omega?

[@captainbenzie]

no

[@overbe]

Your videos need timestamps. At least one to skip almost 2min intro

[@captainbenzie]

Oh shame. I put out free guides and tutorials and 100 seconds is too much of an inconvenience. An intro is necessary as a KZbinr. It tells you what you can expect in the video so you don't watch 20 mins to find out that you misunderstood what the topic was. It also reminds folks to do the things that help me keep doing this. Fun fact, I can prove via analytics that videos where I ask people to like/subscribe, I get more of those things. Folks need the reminder. They don't do those things, and a video bombs. Every like helps promote my content to more folks (ever noticed how if you subscribe AND ding the bell, you still don't get full notifications? That means folks aren't "liking" those videos much so KZbin doesn't push it) Welcome to my job. I don't like having to run these intros either, but it's a necessity.

[@mrhighfield]

This advice is useless; it does not factor the 'clone state' of a person's account.

[@captainbenzie]

How does that make it useless? You can still do all of these things

[@mrhighfield]

@@captainbenzie Alpha state accounts can't use the Skills.
