Source taxation
11% on the first sale
A productive business Triangle pays 11% when the product it manufactures, or the service it provides, is sold at source for the first time. If a manufacturer sells a new product for 100 AAHA COIN, the source tax is 11 AAHA COIN.
The calculation does not ask for salary claims, expense deductions, input credits or tax refunds. The sale is the tax event.
First product/service sale × 11%100 × 11% = 11
People
Salary is tax-free
Ordinary employment salary is 100% tax-free under the AAHA model. The same rule applies to a genuine salary received by an owner or director. There is no employee claim, payroll credit, voucher or salary-tax filing required merely to receive salary.
A person may use that salary for living, saving, investment or any lawful purpose. If the person later creates separate secondary income, that secondary income is treated separately.
Cheapest-market principle
Tax-paid products can be resold tax-free
Once the producing Triangle has settled the 11% source tax, the product receives AAHA Tax-Paid status. The same product may then move through distributors, shops, private owners and second-hand markets without another sales tax being added at each resale.
If a person or reseller creates positive secondary commercial income during the year, that secondary non-salary income is declared once for the year and taxed at 11%. The individual resale transaction itself remains tax-free.
If a tax-paid input is consumed to manufacture a genuinely new product, the new producing Triangle pays 11% when that new product is first sold.

Self-sufficient country principle
Domestic First
Every AAHA-model country shall progressively build and protect its own productive capacity. Where a suitable domestic product or service is available, domestic supply comes first. A lower foreign price by itself is not a reason to bypass a capable domestic producer or service provider.
For a registered business importing productive inputs, importation is permitted at the necessary-import treatment when the competent country authority confirms that no suitable domestic alternative exists, or that domestic supply cannot meet the required technical specification, quantity or essential delivery requirement. Such a necessary import pays 11% at entry.
Where a suitable domestic alternative exists and an imported product or service is nevertheless brought into the AAHA market, the normal import treatment is 22%: the ordinary 11% entry treatment plus an additional 11% domestic-market protection charge. This protects local production, employment, skills and country self-sufficiency while still allowing international trade.
Domestic FirstDomestic source 11% · normal competing import 22% · necessary import with no suitable domestic alternative 11% · export 0% additional AAHA tax
The 22% normal import treatment contains the ordinary 11% AAHA tax plus an additional 11% domestic-market protection charge. The protection portion is separately recorded by Country Governance for domestic production, capacity-building and self-sufficiency programmes. For registered business inputs, without the required confirmation that no suitable domestic alternative exists, the import is treated at the normal 22% rate.
Trade & natural resources
Imports, exports and Resource Royalty
AAHA applies a Domestic First trade rule. A necessary imported product or service with no suitable domestic alternative pays 11% at entry after the competent authority confirms the need. A normal imported product or service that competes with a suitable domestic alternative pays 22% at entry. An AAHA Tax-Paid product may be exported with 0% additional AAHA export tax.
Resource Royalty is separate from the 11% tax. Where a non-government person, company or institution is permitted to extract gold, diamonds, minerals, energy resources, forest resources or another Crown-controlled natural resource, the royalty is based on the extracted product and is decided by the Crown in the extraction agreement.
| Resource status | AAHA treatment |
|---|---|
| Registered extractor with Crown-approved agreement | Pays the Resource Royalty set by the Crown for the extracted product under the signed agreement, together with any ordinary AAHA tax obligation that applies to later sale of a newly produced product or service. |
| Non-government extractor without required AAHA registration or Crown extraction agreement | If found guilty by the competent authority, a 50% unauthorized-extraction charge may be assessed on the authority's assessed value of the extracted product, and negative compliance points are recorded against the offender in the AAHA registry. Registration, extraction rights and related AAHA privileges may also be suspended or denied. |
The royalty percentage or product share is not fixed globally: the Crown decides it during the agreement according to the resource, location, extraction method, quantity, strategic importance and other terms of the grant.
Registry
Registered and non-registered participants
| Status | AAHA treatment |
|---|---|
| AAHA-registered business in an AAHA-model country | Domestic source sales and authority-confirmed necessary imports settle the ordinary 11% through the AAHA single window in AAHA COIN. Normal competing imports settle 22%. The base 11% is allocated as 1% Crown, 5% International Order and 5% country. |
| AAHA-registered business where the country has not yet adopted the model | The AAHA-side share is 6%: 1% Crown + 5% International Order. The country-side tax remains under that country's current system until the country adopts the AAHA model. |
| Non-registered business | It is outside the AAHA tax registry, cannot use the AAHA Tax-Paid mark or claim AAHA tax status, and remains under the applicable country system unless it applies and is approved. |
| Registered Aahan employee | Salary is tax-free under the AAHA model and the person may receive Aahan-specific benefits for which they qualify. |
| Non-Aahan employee | Employment does not automatically create Aahan status. In an AAHA-model country the salary rule remains 0%; AAHA citizen-specific benefits are reserved for registered Aahans where the relevant programme requires registration. |
False AAHA registration, false Tax-Paid marks or false claims of AAHA tax settlement are treated as registry and tax violations and may result in cancellation of AAHA status and penalties under the applicable AAHA/country rules. Unauthorized non-government extraction of a Crown-controlled natural resource may additionally attract the 50% unauthorized-extraction charge and negative compliance points stated in the Resource Royalty rule.
Allocation
Where the 11% goes
| Share | Destination | Reinvestment | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1% | Crown Continuity Share | No | King Manuki, continuity of the founding project and royal bloodline. |

| 5% | Country Governance | Yes | Reinvested inside the participating country through its governance and public departments. |
| 11% | Total collected | 10% reinvested | One single-window tax payment. |
The 5% International Order spending and 5% country-governance spending are to be published in simple public records so Aahans can see what was received, where it was spent and what remains.
