Overextension tax is a "luxury tax" or "financial fair play tax" -- a 50% tax for running at a significant weekly deficit of profitability. It's based on a sliding scale of your net profitability (income minus expenses), but you receive a credit for training players (or purchasing them right before their salaries recalculate higher) within this calculation -- so if you have $500k in player salaries but the players only totaled $200k in salaries when you purchased/drafted them, you could be running at an average weekly deficit of $300k before you'd suffer overextension tax.

There's _also_ interest paid on having a negative bank balance as of two consecutive economic updates, a 5% weekly interest charge on the loan the bank is extending you to keep your team running. If you have a negative balance in excess of -$500,000 after an economic update, then you'll trigger a bankruptcy warning and have 2 weeks to get back above -$500,000 or you'll be fired (your team will reset).

If I follow correct, when I buy player at Monday morning I don't pay his salary at previous calculation but then can be subject to this tax?

No.

If you're running at a weekly profit or break/even, you don't pay over extension tax.

If you save up a bunch of money but then buy a bunch of players with very large salaries to dominate the leagues, but at a weekly net loss, you'll pay over extension tax of 50% on your average weekly deficit.

If you train up a bunch of high salary players and keep them, but are now running at a modest average weekly deficit, you won't pay overextension tax because of the training credit being larger than your weekly deficit.

The reason why I come with this is that when I open economy page yesterday pop up window show up for few seconds. It was 10 lines so I didn't see all but it was something about this tax.

Just point on the little * and the calculation of the overextension tax will show up again.

If you install the Buzzer manager add-on, it will show an estimate on how close a player is to maxing out his skills. How reliable is this estimate? Does it make sense to keep training a player whose estimate is at 92-100%? Shall I wait until it shows 100%? Or is it worth keep going even after the 100% was reached?
