# 9.2 Tax Model

Every $NUAI transaction is subject to a small **buy/sell tax** that funds the platform’s ongoing development and visibility. The current structure:

* **5% Total Tax** per transaction\
   • 2% to the **Growth Fund** (for builder grants, liquidity support, ecosystem development)\
   • 2% to the **Liquidity Pool**\
   • 1% to the **Shill Tax Fund** (used for marketing and exposure campaigns)

This model ensures that every trade helps fuel growth — creating a sustainable cycle of reinvestment into the ecosystem.
