LLMs agents should be treated like incorporated individuals. Each agent should be forced to earn income, file accounts and tax returns, and have human directors who are legally liable for its actions (and be disqualified to be future directors if the LLM does something reprehensible).
At that point we can tax them properly, fight the monopolies that want to own and control everything, and insert some less centralised human control.
This has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think it up.
The owners can just divide the income among enough agents that they fall into the lowest tax bracket. The real solution is to properly tax excessive profits and unrealized gains.
I misread the comment a bit, I thought they meant tax like a person. I wouldn’t put it past the owners to have their agents apply for small business grants or some other exemption.

Yup.
Corporations have tax brackets where you come from?

That would be the worst plan since corporations became legal persons.
