When Should You Revoke Tax Withdraw Authority?
After claiming fees: You've withdrawn the withheld fees you need and want to lock the mechanism permanently.
Trust and transparency: You want to signal that no one can withdraw fees in the future, making the token more trustless.
Compliance or token design: Your token design or policy requires that fee withdrawal be disabled forever.
Best practice: Always claim any withheld fees you want to collect before revoking. After revocation, those fees cannot be withdrawn by anyone.
