# Taxes and fees

The employment tax system and the trading fees within the game are set by the **Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)** for holders of **$STAR** only. 

A system of voting will be implemented in order to restructure the tax and in-game fees. Therefore, the majority vote will determine the direction of the economic system within the game, such as lowering the tax ceiling, or the raising of taxes to reduce liquidity within the system in order to keep the valuation of various assets constant. With regard to these mechanisms, please note the following.
