Tax Settings
You can manage your token's tax settings on EVM chains. With Alphecca Tax Settings, you can freely adjust the tax rates applied to buy, sell, and transfer, and change the wallet that receives taxes.
How to Use Tax Settings
Step 1: Connect Wallet
Click the Connect Wallet button in the top-right corner.
Step 2: Select Token Address
Select the token contract address you want to configure tax settings for.
This feature is only available for tokens created through Alphecca. Only the token creator can modify settings.
Step 3: Configure Tax Rates
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Buy Fee | Fee applied when buying (%) |
| Sell Fee | Fee applied when selling (%) |
| Transfer Fee | Fee applied on wallet-to-wallet transfers (%) |
| Fee Receiver Wallet | Wallet address to receive collected fees |
Buy/Sell fees are based on liquidity pool transactions. When using Alphecca's Create Liquidity Pool page, the pool address is automatically registered to the token contract and Buy/Sell fees are applied.
Most token swaps go through swap aggregators (wallet apps, 1inch, etc.), which results in 'Transfer + Buy/Sell fees' being applied. Please consider this when setting fee rates. To prevent double taxation, set the transfer fee to 0.
When creating a token with tax settings in a V3 pool, wallets not on the whitelist can only buy and cannot sell. This is because all DEX exchanges do not officially support V3 pools for taxable tokens. Please keep this in mind when creating a V3 pool.
Step 4: Save Settings
Click the 'Set Tax' button and approve the transaction in your wallet.
A one-time fee is charged only during initial setup. After that, all changes are completely free.
Tax Settings FAQ
What is Tax Settings?
Tax Settings allows you to automatically collect fees whenever your token is traded or transferred on-chain. Collected fees are sent directly to your designated wallet.
Example: If the transfer fee is set to 1% and User A sends 1,000 tokens to User B, 10 tokens (1%) are automatically collected to the fee receiver wallet.
How much does it cost to change tax settings?
A one-time fee is charged only during initial setup. After that, all changes are completely free.
Can I disable tax after enabling it?
Yes. Set all tax rates to 0% to effectively disable taxation. The feature remains enabled but no fees will be collected.
When do tax settings take effect?
Tax settings take effect immediately after the transaction is confirmed. All subsequent trades will apply the new rates.
Why isn't my Buy/Sell Tax working?
Buy/Sell Tax only applies to trades through liquidity pools. Make sure you have created a liquidity pool through Alphecca's Create Liquidity Pool page for the tax to take effect.
