1. A team's "minimum tax" is locked in at the trade deadline (i.e., you can't cut minimum players before the 4 games of Sim #12 to reduce your tax bill).
2. If a team's salary increases after the trade deadline (e.g., you have to sign a player to get to 8 healthy players due to injury), your "minimum tax" is based on the new salary total.
3. The above two points mean a team's final tax bill is based on whatever the team's highest salary total is at any time after the trade deadline has passed.
