Sell Tax

A sell tax is a percentage a token contract skims from every sale, redirecting it to the deployer, liquidity, or a fee wallet.

The sell tax is enforced in the contract's transfer logic when tokens are sold into the pool. A modest fee is common, but an uncapped tax that the owner can raise toward 100 percent turns the token into a soft honeypot, where selling succeeds but returns almost nothing. What matters is the tax's ceiling and whether it can be modified after launch.
