 ==Equipment tax==
-So far it is has been possible to refine a batch of ore and receive 95% of the minerals. Skills can no longer be used to improve this value. This is because there is a fee for using the equipment, a tax charged by the NPC corporation who own the station. At its default value, this is 5%. It is possible to reduce this value to zero so that a refining will result in 100% of the minerals being given to the player.
+Unfortunately, even with 100% efficiency, you may not receive all the minerals to which you are entitled.  The tax man needs his share.  The Corporation running the refinery will take up 5% of the minerals.  For example if you processed 333 Veldspar and you had 10% waste, you would not receive 900 Tritium, but 900 - (900 x .05) or just 855 tritium.
 In order to reduce the tax level your '''personal''' standing with the NPC corporation that owns the station needs to improve. You need a standing of 6.67 or more to reach zero tax.
