Free, independent tools that help freelancers and small businesses make sense of VAT and GST — without the jargon.
Figuring out whether you need to register for VAT or GST shouldn't require an accountant and an afternoon. Registration thresholds, rates, and filing rules vary wildly between countries and change every year — so we built a set of free tools that give small business owners and freelancers a quick, plain-English answer, backed by official government sources.
Rates and thresholds are sourced directly from official tax authority websites (HMRC, ATO, CRA, BZSt, Revenue.ie, and others) and verified periodically. EU VAT number validation uses the European Commission's live VIES API. That said, tax rules change — always confirm anything important with the official source or a qualified accountant. See our disclaimer for details.
