# Transaction Tax

Minotaur.Money is one of the first decentralized reserve currencies that has instituted a **Transaction Tax**! This tax incentivizes holding by redistributing tokens from sellers to holders.

* Sending MINO to LP pairs carries a 6.66% transaction tax
  * Selling MINO via LP pairs is taxed
  * Additional LP pairs will be added to the list of taxed addresses if created
* Taxed MINO is redistributed to stakers
  * 6.66% of taxable MINO transactions will be immediately sent to the MINO staking contract
  * During rebases, the taxes are divided proportionally amongst all MINO stakers
* By default, MINO transactions carry no transaction tax
  * The helper contract on our website must be used for forming/breaking of MINO/CRO and MINO/DAI LP tokens to be exempt

{% hint style="warning" %}
The transaction tax mechanic charges a 6.66% penalty for selling MINO that is redistributed proportionally to all MINO stakers!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://minotaur-money.gitbook.io/minotaur.money/protocol/transaction-tax.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
