Our Mission
Democratize Tax Information
International tax planning has traditionally been the domain of the wealthy with expensive advisors. We make this information accessible to everyone for free.
Data-Driven Comparisons
Side-by-side comparisons of income tax, corporate tax, VAT, capital gains, cost of living, and quality of life across 50+ countries, all in one place.
Honest & Unbiased
We present both pros and cons of every jurisdiction. We are not affiliated with any government, visa agency, or tax advisory firm. Our revenue comes solely from advertising.
How We Collect Data
Our tax data is compiled through a rigorous research methodology to ensure accuracy and timeliness. Here is how we gather and maintain our information:
Official Government Sources
Tax rates and brackets are sourced primarily from national tax authority websites, government gazettes, and official revenue service publications. These include the IRS (USA), HMRC (UK), ATO (Australia), and equivalent bodies in each country.
International Organizations
We cross-reference data with OECD Tax Database, World Bank, IMF fiscal reports, and PwC/Deloitte/EY worldwide tax summaries for accuracy.
Cost of Living & Quality of Life
Cost of living indices are derived from Numbeo, Expatistan, and internal surveys. Quality of life scores incorporate UN Human Development Index, Mercer Quality of Living surveys, and healthcare/safety indices.
Regular Updates
Tax data is reviewed and updated at least quarterly. When major tax reforms are announced, we update the affected country data within days. Each country page shows its last update date.
