When Should You Revoke Tax Config Authority?

Trust and transparency: You want to signal that fee settings are fixed, making the token more predictable and trustless.

Best practice: Use Change Tax Settings to set your desired fee and max fee before revoking. After revocation, those values cannot be changed.
