How this service works
Authoritative European government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for Germany (de), France (fr). Every value carries a citation to its official primary source (government gazette or central-bank statement), an effective date, a last-confirmed date and a staleness flag.
Output
A JSON object containing the income tax value (as a percent), the country code, effective date, last-confirmed date, a staleness boolean flag, unit, explanatory notes (including structural caveats), and a source object with the official URL and name of the citing government or regulatory body.
Example use cases
Tax compliance check for EU payroll
“I need the official current income tax rate for France with a citation to the government source — we're running payroll calculations and need to verify we're using the right figure.”
Financial app reference data refresh
“Fetch the latest income tax rate for Germany and tell me when it was last confirmed and whether the data is stale — I need to display it in our finance dashboard.”
Cross-country tax rate comparison
“Can you get me the income tax rates for both Germany and France from an authoritative source so I can compare them for a report?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://euroref.dev/v1/answers/income-taxWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, cited European income tax reference data for Germany or France with freshness metadata and a traceable link to the official government or regulatory source. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured JSON output with an explicit staleness flag and primary-source citation rather than scraped or crowd-sourced figures.
Side effects
- Unsupported country code returns an error (only de and fr are supported)
- Stale flag set to true if the underlying official source has not been re-confirmed recently
- Truncated response if the API truncates long notes fields
- Payment not completed results in HTTP 402 response requiring x402 micropayment
- Network timeout if the upstream source is temporarily unreachable

"notes": "STRUCTURAL NOTE: Germany has NO national policy rate. The Deutsche Bundesbank has had no independent monetary-policy competence since 1 January 1999; monetary policy for the euro area is set by the ECB Governing Council under Art. 127-133 TFEU and the ESCB/ECB Statute. The value served is the euro-area-wide ECB deposit facility rate (DFR), which applies identically in all 20 euro-area members, not a German-specific rate. On 11 June 2026 the Governing Council raised all three key rates by 25 basis points with effect from 17 June 2026: deposit facility 2.25%, main refinancing operations (MRO) 2.40%, marginal lending facility 2.65%. This was the first ECB increase since September 2023, reversing part of the eight cuts delivered between June 2024 and June 2025; the ECB cited energy-driven inflation pressure from the Middle East conflict. The DFR is served here because since the 18 March 2024 framework change the ECB steers short-term money-market rates through the DFR and narrowed the MRO-DFR spread to 15bp; the MRO rate (2.40%) remains the headline 'refinancing' rate cited by some sources. No Governing Council monetary-policy meeting fell between 17 June 2026 and the last_confirmed date, so 2.25% is still in force. Note separately that the German statutory Basiszinssatz under Section 247 BGB, published semi-annually by the Bundesbank and used for default interest, is a distinct national figure and is NOT a monetary policy rate.
