    Do you think they also include taxes in the prices? There is sales tax, tariffs, import and export tax etc. On isekai side would be simple but on earth side , if the ability also connected to actual stores how would they explain it to the taxman. Especially, if the user bought multiple tanks.

    You got it all wrong. You just pay the system to steal the items for you.
    It's as simple as that.
    No need for any tax/tariffis.

    Well even if stuff ends up disappearing, it doesn’t really matter much as there likely isn’t travel between worlds. If there is and the IRS has a legion of tax collecting, world hopping terminators... then you wouldn’t bother trying to evade taxes in the first place and have other issues

    ...you have a magical system that breaks the laws of everything we know, physics and shit, and it simplify things for us by making it into Amazon, and the first thing you question are taxes... are you IRS?
    Screw the fact when said system also churns well trained soldiers and yandere chain of command. Tanks become less of a problem when human trafficking and illegal insurgency are on the table.

    Genie: Why, of course! Ask away.

    MC: Ummm... How do I give the government their share of the inheritance tax?

    No the first thing I thought about is the inflation/deflation that it might cause in the isekai side. The Making a Japanese Town in Other World mentioned it might cause economic trouble if he accepted gold as payment. Shortage of gold cause deflation which some consider worst than inflation.
