So the patch notes yesterday included a fairly large Sales tax reduction across the board, with no explanation or fanfare. Reducing Sales tax from 8% to 4.5%. After skills this looks like this:
This is a pretty huge reduction! Apparently it's the second half of changes that were put in a while ago to up the fees around industry to rebalance things a bit and encourage a bit more specialisation in construction rather than essentially forced vertical integration. I can see the logic here.
Crucially though for me it means greatly reduced sales taxes for my "BAU" business of buying in Jita and selling elsewhere. For items like PLEX the margin has already shrunk to accommodate the new normal so no change in how those markets operate.
oooh, good spot. That completely passed me by. That is a good benefit to my business. Takes my sales tax rate from 3.70% to 2.02%.
