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. {% hint style="warning" %} During the IRS launch event, **all withdrawals will be halted for 3 days,** affecting all players. {% endhint %} ### 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. {% hint style="info" %} The IRS only affects the in-game balance, excluding withdrawals. {% endhint %} #### **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. ### Past Audits | Time Started | Time Ended | | ------------- | ------------- | | 12 March 2025 | 15 March 2025 | {% hint style="info" %} **Accountants offer a cost-effective way** to minimize taxation for frequent high-level players. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
