Grand Theft Taxes is a speculative satire that reimagines the outlaw fantasy of Grand Theft Auto through white-collar crime, taxation and regulatory escape. Starting from the libertarian wordplay “taxation is theft,” the series replaces street crime with tax havens, special economic zones, offshore wealth and tax evasion, asking what GTA might look like if its criminal fantasy were built around the kinds of rule-bending far more players encounter in ordinary economic life. Created against the cultural hype surrounding GTA VI, the project borrows the visual grammar of Vice City to build an unofficial fictional spin-off in which fiscal systems become the terrain of play.
