10% Tax

I’m sure others have asked. But seriously!! What’s up with the 10% tax on selling cards? Who is the tax going to?? 😂   We get taxed enough in real life.. It’s a video game people. Makes zero sense.

I always wondered the same thing, like what is even the point of it?

I agree with you and the number of times this comes up someone always says it keeps people from constantly sitting on the auction house and flipping for minimal gains a couple thousand to 10,000. If there were no tax people would sit on the AH refreshing all day and flipping cards for minimal gains and build up there coin stacks a couple grand at a time. If people weren't subject to the 10% tax the market would be inflated and cards that good and cheap would never be available because fliuppers would constantly have them the 10% tax gives them risk they might not getmuch profit on the flips once the 10% is taken out so less reason to constantly buy up cards people want to use and inflate the prices as the risk involved is higher with a tax. This is at least what has been explained to me when I had the same question.

No that makes sense. People only play the AH as it is now. Thinking about it,  I guess I would be ever worse without it. Just seemed weird. Thanks for the rundown my friend.

I put it on my tax returns to try and help lower my taxes
