HOW HARBERGER TAX WORKS
PARTIAL COMMON OWNERSHIP · DEPOSIT-BASED · ESCROW MODEL
1. THE SELF-ASSESSMENT CYCLE
2. DEPOSIT & ESCROW MODEL
3. BUY/SELL FLOW
4. TAX COLLECTION TIMELINE
HARBERGER TAX is a mechanism for partial common ownership. You own a slot, but you must always declare a price at which anyone can buy it from you. You pay a continuous tax proportional to your self-assessed price.
THE TRADEOFF: Set your price high → you pay more tax but are harder to displace. Set it low → cheap to hold but anyone can snipe it. The market finds the efficient price.
DEPOSITS: Instead of streaming payments, 0xSlots uses an escrow model. You deposit tokens upfront. Tax is calculated as PRICE × RATE × TIME_ELAPSED and deducted from your deposit when settlement occurs. When your deposit hits zero, anyone can liquidate your slot and earn a 5% bounty.
FOR LAND OWNERS: You earn the tax revenue from all slots on your land. Call collectRange() to withdraw accrued tax at any time.
