Are GST calculators compatible with international tax systems?

No, GST calculators designed for Indian GST compliance are not compatible with international tax systems. The GST calculators used in India are specifically customised for the Goods and Services Tax framework applicable in the country.

The GST calculators have features to auto-apply the correct CGST, SGST or IGST rates, and generate GST invoices in the government-prescribed format.

The tax rates, brackets, invoice, and return filing requirements vary widely across countries. For example, VAT in the UK, GST in Canada, and VAT in the EU region all have country-specific rules.

Indian GST calculators cannot be used to compute taxes for other countries. Businesses need accounting software or calculators designed particularly for the specific country's tax system if they want to file tax returns elsewhere.
