Professionals
10% proposed
Applying and a public profile are free. Proposed launch commission: 10% of the service price you independently agree with a client — never of a tax refund.
DRAFT — legal and privacy review required before launch
The 10% commission is a proposal. It is not active, no charges are collected, and payments are not live. It must be approved by the owner and reviewed for legality and applicability by qualified counsel before any collection.

Exclusions and review items
- No commission on attorney legal services until jurisdiction-specific legal review (fee-sharing rules).

- Fees are never based on refund amounts.
How payments are planned to work
Payments would run through a third-party processor's marketplace product, with professionals completing the processor's hosted identity and bank onboarding. TaxShifterPro would not hold funds in escrow. Fee math would be calculated on the server and payment events verified by signature. None of this is connected yet.
