A note on tax

This chart is a simplified model: it assumes post-tax contributions and ignores tax on investment gains, so real-world returns would be somewhat lower depending on how and where the funds are invested. The tax treatment of contributions and payouts under the CommuniFi model is one of the things we are validating with tax practitioners — we deliberately make no tax-saving claims until that is confirmed.
