88 countries, and what you get in each

2Fin has the GST, VAT or sales tax on record for 88 countries. All 88 carry their consumption tax in full — the local name, the standard rate (or, as in the United States, that there is no national rate because sales tax is set by each state and locality), the registration threshold and the authority that administers it — free on the web, and callable by an assistant through the Tax MCP. The free calculators on this site work out income tax and take-home pay for Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, and company tax for Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. Inside the app, Australia has the deepest support, and the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa have tax engines of their own — an income-tax estimate, an official-form statement or the authority’s depreciation rules; everywhere else the app tracks GST, VAT or sales tax per transaction from the rate on record, where the country has one. Australia also has read-only bank feeds and categorisation — feeds you connect with a key you own, alongside CSV and statement import everywhere.

Every country Fin knows

Point at a flag — or tab to it, then use the arrow keys — for that country’s tax, its rate, and something worth knowing about it.

A birthday cake helped sink a GST and an election: in 1993, Opposition Leader John Hewson couldn't say whether his proposed GST would make a birthday cake cheaper or dearer, fumbling about icing and candles on live TV.

Questions about country support

Which countries does 2Fin support?

2Fin has the GST, VAT or sales tax on record for 88 countries. All 88 carry their consumption tax in full — the local name, the standard rate (or, as in the United States, that there is no national rate because sales tax is set by each state and locality), the registration threshold and the authority that administers it — free on the web, and callable by an assistant through the Tax MCP. The free calculators on this site work out income tax and take-home pay for Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, and company tax for Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. Inside the app, Australia has the deepest support, and the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa have tax engines of their own — an income-tax estimate, an official-form statement or the authority’s depreciation rules; everywhere else the app tracks GST, VAT or sales tax per transaction from the rate on record, where the country has one. Australia also has read-only bank feeds and categorisation — feeds you connect with a key you own, alongside CSV and statement import everywhere.

Which countries have income tax calculators?

The free calculators on this site work out income tax and take-home pay for Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, and company tax for Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. Not every one of those 6 countries has both — each figure carries the authority it came from and the date it was verified, so you can see which applies before you rely on it. These are website tools: the app’s own income-tax estimate runs for Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and India (in the United States for one kind of income at a time).

How deep is the app’s support in each country?

Australia has the deepest support: the combined refund estimate with the Medicare levy, LITO and HELP, BAS, the ATO myDeductions layout with a suggested D1–D15 line per work expense, the working-from-home fixed rate and the home CGT decisions. The income-tax estimate also runs for the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and India (in the United States for one kind of income at a time). Activity statements are prepared, never lodged, for Australia (BAS), the United Kingdom (VAT return), Canada (GST34), India (GSTR-3B table 3.1(a) from sales only), New Zealand (GST101A) and Singapore (GST F5); depreciation follows the authority's own rules in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa. Everywhere else in the 88 countries you can choose, GST, VAT or sales tax is tracked per transaction from the rate on record where the country has one, with a generic statement template and accountant CSVs, and no income-tax estimate.

How current are the rates?

Every rate is stamped with the authority it came from and the date it was checked, and the tools show both. Rates are reviewed against the source authority rather than copied between years, and the financial year in force is shown on the page rather than assumed.

Can an assistant use this without an account?

Yes. The free Tax MCP at taxmcp.ai2fin.com exposes the same engine to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP-compatible client — rate lookup, GST and VAT computation, income tax, company tax, capital gains, superannuation and study-loan repayments across the same 88 countries. There is no sign-in and no key.

What if my country is not on the list?

Every country here has had its consumption tax checked against its own authority — that's the only test a country has to clear, and it's why the count keeps moving as more clear it. If yours isn't listed yet, it just hasn't been verified — that's usually a matter of time, not something overlooked.
