The less RP you have, and the more ingame bank credits, the higher the tax.
Also bigger ship = bigger tax.

I had 9k RP at the time, and 50million credits in the bank to get the 600m+ tax
On NA I was also taxed at the same time, with a ship similar to the one that got taxed for 492m
20-08-04 09:11 Tax paid 4.678 credits tax for Arcturus\_S12\_V2 (12162054)
I had over twice as much in the bank on NA, so it should have been higher there then.

first off, it is very dangerous to CSW during tax time.
ur player credits in game have a huge affect on this. ur tax on private ships goes much higher with the more credits u have in the game. the best way to reduce taxes is to eb:payin:all before logging off for the night. as @Dr.Dark said, higher RP and lower in game credits = lower taxes.
faction ship are a much different story as they are affected by all member’s RP & credit amounts. take a look at the tax page on HWS connect. this will show ur current tax balance. it has all the factors in the equation to calculate the tax amount. it does take a bit to update at times.

So should I refund it just before the wipe or not?
