Graveyard Keeper 2 Pay Taxes — Januarius Post Box

Short answer

Pay taxes in GK2 is a post box service from Januarius—not a hidden IRS mini-game. You spend 2.5 silver, get a line of flavor text (“Tax increased!”), and no obvious stat bump. Players still search it because the button exists and the game never explains the joke.

How to do it

1. Progress Januarius until his post box services unlock at the fairy settlement.
2. Choose pay taxes from the box menu.
3. Confirm 2.5 silver on hand (early saves run tight—check copper/silver split).

What it does not do

• Does not replace church gratitude or sermon prep.
• Does not unlock Royal Foundry or factory licenses.
• Is unrelated to the Plague Doctor quest line—if you need Albert, see plague doctor guide.

Economy context

If you are bleeding silver, fix burial certificates, orders, and gold loop before spamming the post box. The tax button is optional chrome.
