I don't feel like a mercenary if I am obliged to pay my corporation a portion of my earnings. That makes me feel like a worker, and suddenly, as Twain observes, I don't want to be in a corporation anymore.
If this system is implemented though, there's tax wherever I go, because we're automatically thrown into NPC corporations. The freedom is lost; and play becomes work.
Unless the rates are really low. Even then, though, I feel a tax detracts from that sense of being truly mercenary.
You could always start your own Corp and set your rate at 0%
I bet you'd get tons of people who would want to join you. You wouldn't necessarily have the dough to get any real estate, but maybe you would. I imagine the donation function would remain in place, and you might get work from other corps to earn some ISK.
Good luck one way or the other, buddy.

Yes, please.
Maybe not directors in general, unless there're plans to make the directors' powers something that the CEO can pick and choose for individual corporate officers. So, like, if I get made a director, the CEO ticks off "accept apps" and "kick dudes out" and "post/accept corp battle contracts" because I can be trusted with that stuff, but makes sure "set tax rate" and "pillage corporate wallet" are not selected, because I'm a profligate spendthrift and am wildly irresponsible, and so cannot be trusted with those...

I don't know the details of this, so, sure! Why not? Unless it's bad for me (or Dust in general, but mostly me) in which case, no! :D
CCP Nullarbor wrote:3. Should we set tax on NPC corporations as well to encourage players to find player corporations that may have a cheaper tax rate? What would the default tax rate be?
Yes, I think so. Somewhere between "too low" and "way too high." Maybe 15% or 20%. 10% sounds too low and 30% would probably qualify as "way too high." You could always change it if you don't like what you guys set it to.
