Buy and sell taxes on tokens

Some token contracts take a percentage of every buy and sell and send it to a set wallet.

What it means
A tax lowers what you get on each trade, and in some contracts the owner can raise it later; a very high sell tax works almost like a honeypot.
What to watch
The current buy and sell tax, whether the owner can change it, and whether the code sets a maximum.
