Gift to System while AFK? WTF??

While reviewing my account history this morning, I noticed that the SYSTEM took a small gift from my account last night. It was next to nothing - L$25. I checked my last month statement to be sure, and it was the only time a debit to the system has shown up as a gift. I have group liabilities and classified payments but they identify themselves on my statement. But a GIFT???

I was sleeping at the time it happened, and I'm pretty sure I don't SL in my sleep, although feels like it sometimes. Am I missing something? is there a new tax? Is currency being clawed back?

Like I said, It was only L$25. But I really want to know what it was for. Any ideas?

A Gift is when you pay someone directly, or they pay you directly. As opposed to buying from a prim in a shop, or giving someone a tip in a tip jar.

It should have the person's name of who you gave it to.

Did you rate anyone yesterday? When you rate someone it shows up as a gift to system. The fact that it happened when you were afk was either a time zone issue or some sort of delay in posting the transaction.

Exactly my concern - it was a paymet to System (read LL) that I didn't initiate.
