South Korea has a 10bp transaction tax and no obvious liquidity problems.

I guess it really matters what the profit margins of HFT options MMs here are. I don't think in a lot of cases they can absorb 10bp.

They wouldn’t continue quoting the same spreads if there was a transaction tax! Spreads would widen but more volume would be transacted near the NBBO because there is more profit margin built in for market makers. Not obvious that it’s worse for liquidity.

Where by liquidity I mean something like “ability to transact a given volume without moving the price (much)”
