Raise Taxes?
« on: April 04, 2009, 08:22:55 AM »
Any thoughts?

Just throwing this topic out there, nothing is definite yet.

Currently I would say yes. When we have a working 0.0 infrastructure (some decent moon reaction or so) to pay for pos upkeep it is always possible to reduce them.

I'd say an increase towards 15 or 20% would be hardly felt by the members (5-10% decrease in rat/mission income = still lots) but will mean a 50-100% increase in that type of income for the corp which would be nice enough i guess.

hike it up to 20% i says until we have settled into 0.0 and production on capitals has started, just now we are mineral starved which is making production nil.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Rising it 10% more to a corp tax of 20% would be good imho and would allow us to cover our operating costs of:
1) fuel for current POS and the 2 planned DS POS's
2) cover the alliance fees
3) seeding the market with buy orders for minerals

Ang's logging on to move them up to 20% ;)

An increase of 10%, which is what I was aiming for without actually stating it.
