A lot of the people I build for are just starting out their groups and are unable to transfer robux using group funds, so instead they buy through gamepass, which can get super spendy with tax.
Does anyone know if private servers are a better way to get paid but with less tax for the buyers?
Not exactly sure how private servers work, so that’s why I’m asking.
No every single way (game passes, clothing, dev products, and including private servers have the 30% tax) has a 30% tax you may group funs don’t but there is a tax when putting the funds in the group(until they add the feature the put Robux directly into the group funds without the tax.)
edit: About premium payouts. There is no tax in premium payouts because it does not come from the player but it does go through the pending Robux. The best way to get the payouts for a small dev would be to get a friend or yourself (that has premium) to afk in a game of yours over a few nights.
Ok, thank you for letting me know! 
Roblox makes it so hard for builders to make income, best we can hope for is a proper builders market
