CountryTaxCalc.com is reader-supported. When you use certain links on our site to purchase products or services, we may earn affiliate commissions. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether or not we earn a commission.
We believe in complete transparency about how we fund this free resource. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn money, and our commitment to honest recommendations.
An affiliate link is a special tracking link that credits us when you use it to purchase a product or service. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase or sign up for a service, the company pays us a commission.

We apply the following criteria before pursuing any affiliate partnership. Commissions do not influence how we rank or describe services.
Trust signal data (ratings, review counts, social proof figures) is verified directly from Trustpilot or the partner's website. It was last verified: April 16, 2026. We re-verify every 6 months.
Commissions do not affect rankings or copy. Where we show multiple providers side by side, the primary card is chosen based on best fit for the typical visitor on that page — not commission rate.
This content is reviewed by the site owner, Daniel Klosson, before publication. Tax information and affiliate recommendations are not generated and published without human review.
Core Principle: We recommend services based on what's best for your tax situation and needs — not on which affiliate program pays the highest commission.
When we mention affiliate partners on our site:
If a free alternative or competitor offers better value for your specific situation, we'll mention it — even if we don't earn a commission.
Affiliate links appear only in specific, contextually relevant sections:
Pages with no relevant affiliate match show no affiliate section at all. We do not force affiliate cards onto pages where they would not be genuinely useful.
All affiliate links are clearly disclosed with a highlighted disclosure box appearing above the affiliate cards on every page. You will never encounter hidden affiliate links on our site.
Affiliate commissions help us:
Without affiliate partnerships, we would need to charge subscription fees or display intrusive advertising. Affiliate income allows us to keep the site free while maintaining quality.
This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".
The FTC requires that we clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection between us and the companies we recommend. Affiliate commissions represent such a material connection.
We take this obligation seriously and ensure that:
To maintain trust and transparency, we commit to the following:
