Solana Tax Token Creator
Create a Token-2022 token that charges a fee on every transfer, with a rate you can lock or keep adjustable.
Wallet not connected
Connect your wallet to create a token that charges a fee on every transfer. You sign every action yourself, and nothing is custodial.
Common questions
What is a tax token on Solana?
A token built on the Token-2022 standard with the transfer fee extension switched on. A percentage of every transfer is withheld automatically by the token program itself, with no custom contract involved. It applies to every movement of the token: sells, DEX trades and ordinary wallet-to-wallet sends alike.
Can I create a tax token on mainnet here?
Yes. Switch the top bar to Mainnet and the deploy runs there at the standard deploy fee. Rehearsing on Testnet first is still worth it, and not as a formality: send some between two of your own wallets and check what the chain actually withheld against the preview on this page. A locked rate is permanent, and that is the one setting no support ticket can undo.
Can I give my tax token a logo and social links?
Yes. Upload an image and fill in the links, and we host both the picture and the metadata file and write its link into the mint. One caveat that is specific to this kind of token: the metadata is Token-2022 native rather than Metaplex, so an app that only reads Metaplex will not show your name or logo no matter how correct the file is. Phantom, Solscan and the major explorers read it.
Where do the collected fees go?
They are withheld inside the recipients' own token accounts rather than sent anywhere immediately. The wallet you nominate as the fee withdrawal authority can then harvest them. This means the fees exist on-chain from the moment they are charged, and collecting them is a separate, visible action.
Should I lock the fee rate?
If you want people to trust the token, yes. While the rate can still be changed, whoever holds that authority can raise it to 100% after people have bought, which turns their holding into something they cannot sell. Our own Rug Check reports exactly that as a risk, so an unlocked rate is something a buyer will see and price in.
Will my tax token work everywhere a normal token does?
No, and this is the honest limitation. Token-2022 support is uneven: some wallets, DEXes and aggregators handle transfer fees poorly or refuse to route them at all. On top of that, this tool writes metadata using Token-2022's own extension rather than Metaplex, so apps that only read Metaplex may not show your token's name or logo. Test with the wallets and venues you actually care about before committing.
Why does the fee sometimes round up?
Because the token program computes it that way. It rounds the fee up rather than down, so a fee that would work out to a fraction of a base unit still charges one whole unit. On tiny transfers this makes the effective rate slightly higher than the number you set. The preview on this page reflects it.
What does the maximum fee do?
It caps what any single transfer can pay. Without one, the fee scales without limit, so a whale moving a large position pays a proportionally huge amount and may simply decide not to. With a cap, the percentage applies until the cap is reached and then stops. A maximum of zero is refused here, because it would cap every fee at zero and the token would advertise a rate it never charges.
Is a tax token the same as a reflection token?
No, though they are often confused. A transfer fee withholds a cut and holds it for the fee authority to collect. Reflections redistribute a cut to existing holders automatically. Token-2022's extension does the first. Anything that automatically pays holders needs a program written for it, which this tool does not create.
A deliberate token, not a bad one
A transfer fee is a Token-2022 feature the program enforces itself: it withholds your rate inside the recipient's account for the wallet you nominate to collect. It is a worse-supported token than a plain one: wallets and DEXes handle transfer fees unevenly, and the metadata is Token-2022 native rather than Metaplex, so Metaplex-only apps may not show your name or logo. For one that simply works everywhere, the standard deploy console creates a plain SPL token.
Locking sets the fee authority to nobody, so the rate can never be raised: the version buyers trust, and permanent. An unlocked rate can be raised to 100% after people buy, which our Rug Checker reports as a risk. Give up the mint and freeze authorities on Revoke Authorities.
