my query is: will 'ringers' be taxed if they are brought in to play a PC battle on behalf of another corp?
eg: Clone x is from a NPC corp, but gets drafted in to play for an Eon corp (just used that alliance because they are the current flavor of the month), will i be taxed if i'm on the winning side for a PC battle? if yes, how will i know what rate the PC corp is charging at?
The tax rate is based on the individuals corp, not the corp they are fighting for in PC. |

Regarding not charging NPC corporations we did this for 2 reasons:
- It would be a massive nerf across the board to income, the ISK just goes missing because it goes to NPCs
- It is just not a good incentive to form social groups, we would rather people form corporations to play together, not just to avoid taxation. |

So we had a massive thread about corp tax a while ago (https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=67713). We reviewed all the feedback in that and discussed it with the CPM. For such a small feature it was quite heavily consulted on.
The real catch with having an NPC tax rate in DUST is you can easily work around it by starting a 1 man corporation to earn more ISK. We don't want to incentivise players leaving NPC corps, we want to incentivise them playing and socializing with other players by joining player corps. It is a subtle but very important distinction to make and a good example of where just copying EVE should not be the default decision.
What we will continue to work on is the concept of group earning so your tax money gets put to good use and hopefully earns you a greater return than if you just played solo in an NPC corp. The whole being greater than the sum of the parts type deal. We also have plans to help corporations recruit more effectively and share their wealth with their members, but more on this later.
Thanks for all the comments so far. |

Actually I will add one more thought to this discussion, our design decisions are heavily metrics based these days. We are tracking the progression of players joining player corporations and will be watching how this data is affected after this change.
If it turns out to be the wrong call and we see a big drop then we will of course review why and make additional changes. |

It's 2 decimal places in EVE, we kept it the same for consistency seeing as they are the same tax figure. |
