I found this while looking around. I wish I had known it earlier but due to not realizing it was there and probably laziness thought I would share it:

2.2. GRID IRON TAX DEPARTMENT (GITD)
GITD is the sole taxation authority in the Grid-Iron world. The department's goal is to keep the players in their respective teams for at least one whole season before they are transfered out. As a result of this, if the player is at his team for:

- less than 1 week the tax is 23% of the amount the player was sold for
- 1 week, the tax is 22% of the amount the player was sold for
- 2 weeks, the tax is 21% of the amount the player was sold for
- 3 weeks, the tax is 20% of the amount the player was sold for
- 4 weeks, the tax is 19% of the amount the player was sold for
- 5 weeks, the tax is 18% of the amount the player was sold for
- 6 weeks, the tax is 17% of the amount the player was sold for
- 7 weeks, the tax is 16% of the amount the player was sold for
- 8 weeks, the tax is 15% of the amount the player was sold for
- 9 weeks, the tax is 14% of the amount the player was sold for
- 10 weeks, the tax is 13% of the amount the player was sold for
- 11 weeks, the tax is 12% of the amount the player was sold for
- 12 weeks, the tax is 11% of the amount the player was sold for
- 13 weeks, the tax is 10% of the amount the player was sold for
- 14 weeks, the tax is 9% of the amount the player was sold for
- 15 weeks, the tax is 8% of the amount the player was sold for
- 16 weeks, the tax is 7% of the amount the player was sold for
- 17 weeks, the tax is 6% of the amount the player was sold for
- 18 weeks, the tax is 5% of the amount the player was sold for
- 19 weeks, the tax is 4% of the amount the player was sold for
- 20 weeks or more, the tax is 3% of the amount the player was sold for

Now that I know this I plan on suspending all sales for the remaider off this season and into next. Of coarse I found this after listing several players. Oh well.

P.S. To all my GI compadres Happy New Year!!!

Don't forget that the tax you loose have to be more than the wage you have to pay the player to keep him, else it is wiser to sell now and save money in the long run
