# Tax Collection
In CAPA DeFi Protocol, tax collection is the pulse of our dynamic ecosystem, fueling growth and innovation. Every citizen is subject to the 6% tax rate on transactions, ensuring a fair and inclusive contribution to the community's growth. Citizens are mandated to transact a minimum of 10% of their tokens every 15 days, subject to a 6% tax on the transaction amount. This minimum tax requirement ensures active participation, steady tax inflow, and vibrant economic activity within the community.
