Clan Tax?

[SkeinsOfFitzsimmons]

Good afternoon.

I was under the impression, that trading within a Dojo suspends the trading tax. However, when trading with fellow clan members, there's a trading tax in credits.

Did I misunderstand how trading works? Is this a bug? At the time, we were trading sculptures and kubrow/kavat imprints. 

Thank you.

There is always a base tax of 500 credits per platinum (plus a fee for other items included in the trade).

However, the clan in question can adjust the clan tax rate to be higher than this, but not lower.

Maroo's Bazaar has an additional 10% tax rate, so trading 100 platinum will take 55,000 Credits, rather than 50,000, If I did that math correctly..

Clan dojo, in most cases, is your best bet.

In addition to this, Warlords are also able to set trade tax rates. The additional credits are then stored within the clan resource vault, which can then be used towards research or building rooms/decorations.

Just like real life there is no getting away from taxes.

I see. Thought it odd, since trading with other players in my dojo didn't require a tax.

Good morning, Tenno.

I'm going to bump my post, as I'm  still having trouble.

None of the credits from the tax is going towards the clan, but being exchanged between the members who are trading. How can the warlord change this, as I don't see any opinion to change taxes other than for Dark Sectors.

Thank you.

The base trade tax is part of the game. It goes to the Lotus, not to the other player. The best example of this is trading a prime mod, which has a tax of 1mil credits that does not go to either player once the trade is complete - I mention this as an example because it's VERY easy to see 1mil credits disappear! It's there as a limiting factor on all trades, likely to stop traders passing platinum around quite so freely. It falls into the category of base game economics. DE want you to limit trade activity to ensure theres's still motivation to play and spend money on the game.

There are 2 taxes at play here.  The first is set by DE and those credits go to DE.  The second can be set by high ranking clan members, and these credits go directly to the clan vault.  The credits in the clan vault can be used to fund rooms, decorations, and research projects.  You might want to read the WIKI pages for clans and trading:
