Overview

By default, when EzTax collects a tax it simply removes the money from the player’s account and records the amount in statistics — the money is burned (removed from the economy).

The tax-sink configuration section lets you route collected money to a different destination instead. This applies to all tax types: transaction, wealth, inactivity, and death.

Configuration 

tax-sink:
  destination: burn   # burn | player | pool | command
  target-player: ""   # player name (used when destination=player)
  command: ""         # console command (used when destination=command)

Destinations

burn (default)

Money is removed from the economy and destroyed. This is the standard anti-inflation sink — collected amounts are tracked in statistics but no one receives the funds.

tax-sink:
  destination: burn

player

Collected tax is deposited directly into a named player’s account after being withdrawn from the taxpayer. Useful for routing tax revenue to a town leader, admin, or server fund.

tax-sink:
  destination: player
  target-player: "ServerAdmin"

Note: The target-player must be a valid player name. Offline players are supported (their balance is updated even when not online).

pool

Collected tax is split equally among all currently online players and deposited into their accounts. Useful for redistribution mechanics where the community benefits from taxation.

tax-sink:
  destination: pool

Note: If no players are online when a tax is collected, the money is effectively burned for that event.

command

A console command is executed after each tax collection. Use %amount% as a placeholder for the collected amount (formatted as a decimal with two places).

tax-sink:
  destination: command
  command: "eco give BankVault %amount%"

Example commands:

Use case Command
Give to a Vault account eco give ServerVault %amount%
Broadcast collection broadcast Tax collected: %amount%
Run a script script tax_collected %amount%

Tips

  • The burn destination is best for controlling inflation by permanently removing money.
  • Use pool for a fun redistribution mechanic that rewards active players.
  • The command destination is the most flexible and allows integration with any plugin that accepts console commands.
