Whenever you set up a buy or sell order, you will have to pay the broker fee: 1% of the total order (0.75% at max skills), modified by standings. Whenever each unit gets sold, the seller will pay 2% of the sell price as a [[Tax#Sales_tax|sales tax]] (1% at max skills). The fees show up in the wallet journal as "Brokers Fee" and "Transaction Tax".

Whenever you set up a buy or sell order, you will have to pay the broker fee: 3% of the total order (2.5% at max skills), modified by standings. Whenever each unit gets sold, the seller will pay 2% of the sell price as a [[Tax#Sales_tax|sales tax]] (1% at max skills).
