193 countries, and what you get in each
2Fin has the GST, VAT or sales tax on record for 193 countries, 171 of them verified against their own authority and the rest marked “confirm with” it. Each carries its 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 57 countries, company tax for 139 and capital gains tax for 71. Inside the app (88 countries today), Australia has BAS, the ATO myDeductions layout and the home CGT decisions, 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; in its other countries 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.

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.

The full country list, by region
Every country Fin has a rate on record for — with its source, the date it was checked and whether it is verified — what it does in each, and one thing worth knowing about that country’s consumption tax. Reduced rates and the year-by-year detail live in the GST and VAT rates table, and you can compare two countries side by side there too.

Questions about country support
Which countries does 2Fin support?
2Fin has the GST, VAT or sales tax on record for 193 countries, 171 of them verified against their own authority and the rest marked “confirm with” it. Each carries its 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 57 countries, company tax for 139 and capital gains tax for 71. Inside the app (88 countries today), Australia has BAS, the ATO myDeductions layout and the home CGT decisions, 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; in its other countries 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 57 countries, company tax for 139 and capital gains tax for 71. Not every one of those 140 countries has both income and company tax — each figure carries the authority it came from, the date it was checked and whether it is 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?
In Australia, the app has 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, ready for you to lodge, 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. In the rest of the app's 88 countries, 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 and GST and VAT computation across the same 193 countries, plus income tax, company tax, capital gains, superannuation and study-loan repayments where Fin covers them. There is no sign-in and no key.
What if my country is not on the list?
Every country here has its consumption tax on record with a source. 171 of the 193 are verified against their own authority; the other 22 show “unverified — confirm with” that authority and link to where to check. If yours isn't listed yet, Fin doesn't have a sourced rate for it yet.
Start where you are
The calculators and the rates reference need no account, from any country. Connect a feed with your own key, or upload a statement, and Fin does the rest.
