Cbox Tax

What Cbox Tax is

Cbox Tax is a free, self-hostable consumption-tax engine for Laravel applications. It calculates tax treatment, rates and authority breakdowns across EU VAT, national VAT and GST, US sales tax, Canadian GST and HST, India dual GST, and Malaysia SST. Its rules address place of supply, reverse charge, inclusive or exclusive pricing, exemptions and seller-registration routing. For EU VAT, rules include intra-EU B2B reverse charge and VIES-validated customer tax IDs. US tax application checks whether the state resolves, the seller has nexus there and the product is taxable there. The engine stops when a needed regime or rate is missing rather than assuming a zero rate. A pluggable rate-source contract supports static, remote, caching or chained sources; the register syncs to local disk for pricing calculations without a network call. The package is MIT licensed, but its register data has separate PolyForm Internal Use 1.0.0 terms that bar redistribution or resale as rate lookups. The data is beta, may contain errors and is not tax advice. Requirements include PHP ^8.4, Laravel ^13, ext-dom, ext-zlib and cboxdk/laravel-geo.
