Trade tax is in place so you can't just ship someone every primed mod in the game maxed for nothing in credit cost. Used as a credit sink primarily as if there was no trade tax on anything people would start getting to 100m+ credits pretty quickly. They don't like that plat is tradeable either but they can't make it untradeable as it would ruin them because people would be pissed and rightfully so, but they can tax it. Takes a 200K credits to make 400 plat for example.
