# Bureau/Consulate/Embassy
### History
*Since the dawn of civilisation, tax has been a vital source of revenue for most governments to fund essential services and infrastructure for their citizens.*
### Building Overview
Bureaus are tax reduction Buildings which reduce the tax of trading NFT items on the secondary market.
Since $RELIC is an uncapped token, its supply grows as more players join the game and earn them in-game. Taxing $RELIC on marketplace trading and its burning mechanism is one of the economic sinks to partially mitigate inflation.
There is a small tax for trading item NFTs on the secondary market. Bureaus help reduce the tax even more, achieving a true player-driven economy.
Bureaus can be upgraded to Consulates which then can be upgraded to Embassies. Each upgrade reduces the tax cast even more.
| Rarity Level | Tax Reduction Building | Tax Reduction |
|---|
| ⭐ | Bureau | -1.5% |
| ⭐⭐ | Consulate | -3% |
| ⭐⭐⭐ | Embassy | -6% |
