88 countries, and what you get in each

2Fin supports 88 countries. All 88 carry their consumption tax in full — the local name, the standard rate, the registration threshold and the authority that administers it — free on the web, and callable by an assistant through the Tax MCP. Income tax and take-home pay are calculated for Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States; company tax for Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. Australia also has bank feeds and automatic categorisation, through the open-banking regime in force there.

Did you know?

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 supports 88 countries. All 88 carry their consumption tax in full — the local name, the standard rate, the registration threshold and the authority that administers it — free on the web, and callable by an assistant through the Tax MCP. Income tax and take-home pay are calculated for Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States; company tax for Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. Australia also has bank feeds and automatic categorisation, through the open-banking regime in force there.

Which countries have income tax calculators?

Income tax and take-home pay are calculated for Australia, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Company tax is modelled for Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. Not every one of those 6 countries has both engines — 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.

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?

The list is generated from the rate ledger behind 2Fin rather than written by hand, so the 88 here are exactly the countries whose consumption tax has been verified against its own authority. A country is missing only until that verification lands, and the count on this page moves with the ledger.

Start where you are

The calculators and the rates reference need no account, from any country. Where bank feeds are live, connect a bank and Fin does the rest.
