Smart Contract Audit for Tax Logic Vulnerabilities

A specialized security audit service focusing exclusively on identifying flaws, rounding errors, and compliance gaps in the tax calculation and deduction logic of payment-related smart contracts.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by engineers who have audited over $2B in DeFi TVL.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure backbone of your protocol. Our battle-tested development process, refined from auditing top-tier projects, ensures your logic is gas-optimized, upgradeable, and secure by design.

From initial concept to mainnet deployment, we manage the full lifecycle with rigorous testing and documentation.

  • Protocol Development: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, AMMs, lending/borrowing logic, and governance systems.
  • Security First: Built with OpenZeppelin standards, comprehensive unit/integration tests, and pre-audit reviews.
  • Full Deployment: End-to-end support on Ethereum, L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism), and Solana, including verification and monitoring setup.

COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

What Our Specialized Tax Logic Audit Covers

Our audit goes beyond standard security checks to scrutinize the financial integrity of your token's tax mechanisms. We ensure your contract's economic model is robust, compliant, and resilient to manipulation.

01

Fee & Slippage Mechanism Review

We analyze buy/sell/transfer tax logic for correctness, ensuring fees are calculated, collected, and distributed as intended without rounding errors or reentrancy risks that could drain the treasury.

02

Liquidity & Treasury Fund Security

Verification that taxed tokens and native currency are securely routed to designated wallets (e.g., marketing, liquidity pool) and are protected from unauthorized withdrawal or misallocation.

03

Whitelist & Exemption Logic

Audit of functions that exempt addresses (e.g., DEX pools, treasury) from taxes. We check for privilege escalation, improper access control, and logic flaws that could bypass fees.

04

Rebase & Reflection Token Mechanics

In-depth analysis of complex tokenomics, including automatic rebasing calculations, reward distribution fairness, and prevention of balance manipulation during tax events.

05

Oracle & Price Feed Integration

For dynamic fee models, we assess dependency on external price data (Chainlink, Pyth) for manipulation resistance, correct usage, and secure fallback mechanisms.

06

Compliance & Regulatory Alignment

We review tax logic against common regulatory red flags, ensuring mechanisms do not inadvertently create securities-like characteristics or enable wash trading.

MITIGATE REGULATORY RISK

Why a Focused Tax Audit is Critical for Payment Platforms

Generic smart contract audits miss the complex financial logic that defines payment platforms. Our targeted audit isolates and validates your tax, fee, and settlement calculations to prevent revenue loss and compliance failures.

01

Prevent Revenue Leakage

We mathematically verify every fee calculation, royalty distribution, and tax withholding function. Identifies logic errors that can silently drain 5-15% of platform revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our specialized audit process for identifying and mitigating tax logic vulnerabilities in DeFi, NFT, and token protocols.

A tax logic vulnerability is a flaw in the code that governs transaction fees, tokenomics, or reward distribution. This can lead to incorrect fee calculations, loss of protocol revenue, or unintended token inflation. Our audits specifically target functions like _transfer, fee-on-transfer mechanisms, staking rewards, and buy/sell tax logic to ensure financial integrity.
