Terra Wallet at Terra Station has recently updated its interface to add the tax rate feature in a bid to show support for the Terra Classic 1.2% tax burn, which is to be effected via a proposal that promises to burn LUNC tokens as on-chain transactions are initiated.
At the moment, the tax rate in the Terra Station is still set at 0.00%. This is expected to change once the 1.2% parameter change goes into effect on the 20th of September 2022. It’s worth noting that Terraform Labs has approved the upcoming parameter change. So, the implementation date is confirmed.
Why the Proposal Is Important?
This is important because the proposal is meant to implement a 1.2% tax for all on-chain transactions, which will then be sent to the dedicated dead wallet.

These taxes will be effected on on-chain activities such as transactions between wallets and smart contracts that interact with the chain.
The proposal reads in part:
“This parameter change cannot enforce taxes on off-chain activity (like trading on CEXs); however, depending on the mechanisms that these trading exchanges use, such as moving from hot to cold wallets, that activity can and will be taxed and burned.
“There are many implications to this tax both technically and economically. We would like the community to be fully aware of these pros/cons before deciding to move forward.”
The Terra Classic community aims to use the proposal to reduce the 6.9 trillion LUNC tokens in circulation.
A number of exchanges have indicated their readiness to fully support and implement the proposal. However, both Gate.io and Binance will not implement the 1.2% tax burn on spot trading, but only on withdrawals and deposits. Expectedly, this did not go down well with the vast Terra Classic community that has counted on these top exchanges, especially Binance.

Howbeit, there is still a possibility for Binance to reconsider its decision in order to satisfy the teeming Terra Classic (LUNC) community members.
In a tweet a few days ago, Binance wrote, “Hi! According to the proposal, we introduced a 1.2% tax burn for on-chain transactions. We settle most transactions off the chain, making it difficult for the tax to be levied. Yet, we would closely monitor the effect of the change and might review the decision.”
