MININGTAXES_PRICE_JANICE_API_KEY = "XXXX"
MININGTAXES_PRICE_METHOD = "Janice"

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['miningtaxes_update_daily'] = {
    'task': 'miningtaxes.tasks.update_daily',
    'schedule':  crontab(minute=0, hour='1'),
}

# Notifiy everyone of their current taxes on the second day of every month.
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['miningtaxes_notifications'] = {
    'task': 'miningtaxes.tasks.notify_taxes_due',
    'schedule': crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='2'),
}

# Charge interest and notify everyone on the 15th of every month.
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['miningtaxes_apply_interest'] = {
    'task': 'miningtaxes.tasks.apply_interest',
    'schedule': crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='15'),
}

• Navigate to the admin panel and setup the accountants (1 per corp)

Post-Setup instructions

• After you have setup your accountants (1 per corp) in the Admin Setup panel, invite all the members of your corp to add their characters.
• If you enable MININGTAXES_TAX_ONLY_CORP_MOONS, remember that only moon mining of your corp moons will be taxes and other moons will be ignored.
• After everyone in the corp has added their characters, consider running to the miningtaxes_zero_all command to zero out everyone's taxes to prevent mining activity from the past from being taxed.
• When a new user joins your corp and adds their character to the plugin, also consider going into the audit tables and providing a tax credit so that it will zero out their past mining activity.

Whitelisting and Blacklisting

The logic around whitelisting and blacklisting is a bit complex so I will describe the implementation here.

If any systems are entered into MININGTAXES_WHITELIST then taxes are collected in these systems regardless of what the other settings say. Basically MININGTAXES_BLACKLIST, MININGTAXES_TAX_HISEC, MININGTAXES_TAX_LOSEC, MININGTAXES_TAX_NULLSEC, MININGTAXES_TAX_JSPACE, MININGTAXES_TAX_POCHVEN are completely ignored.

If there NO systems entered into MININGTAXES_WHITELIST (the default state), then the system will look at whether they fall into the exclusion rules and tax accordingly.
