IRS
No one escapes Uncle Sam.
The IRS (Internal Revenue System) is a new feature within the Pett.AI Central Bank designed to regulate and enforce tax collection on withdrawals. It introduces a taxation system based on player levels and offers a strategic mechanism to reduce tax rates by employing accountants. The IRS ensures compliance and fairness while maintaining the stability of the in-game economy.
During the IRS launch event, all withdrawals will be halted for 3 days, affecting all players.
Key Mechanics
1. Withdrawal Restrictions During IRS Activation
No new withdrawals can be created while the IRS is active.
Players can jump the queue or place withdrawals in the queue but cannot create new ones.
Claiming rewards remains active at all times.
2. IRS Audit Triggers
Every time an IRS audit begins, new withdrawals stop.
Audits are randomized events. No one knows when it's going to happen.
This ensures a controlled taxation process and prevents tax evasion.
3. IRS Eligibility
All players above level 15+ are subject to the IRS.
Lower-level players are exempt to encourage progression.
4. Reducing Taxation with Accountants
Players undergoing an IRS audit can reduce the amount of $AIP taxed by purchasing Accountants. Each accountant hired reduces the base tax rate, following a diminishing returns model.

Your accountants are required for every IRS audit, meaning you'll need to repurchase them each time a new audit occurs.
