Alliance tax goes into the ally fund, from which it can be donated back to members below the avg score and value.

Some additions:
There are no
hard limitations to working together, but out-of-tag defense won't benefit from the ETA -1 you need, which means you can only defend against fr/de with fi/co and against cr/bs with fr/de. (Actually, I'm not really sure if that's true: wasn't out-of-tag defense made impossible at some point?)
Alliance taxes are primarily used to fund scanners.
