# Initial Sell Tax

**Menu Prompt: 💰 Set Initial Sell Tax**

**Detailed Instructions:**

* Set the tax percentage for sell transactions during the initial launch phase.
* Enter a value between 0 and 30 percent.
* A higher sell tax can: 
  * Discourage early dumping of tokens
  * Provide price stability in the early stages
* Like the buy tax, consider a strategy to reduce this over time.
* Example: Entering "25" sets a 25% tax on sell transactions during the launch phase.
