What the .tax extension is
.tax is an open generic top-level domain that IANA records as delegated on 23 April 2014, operated today by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital. The original delegation went to Storm Orchard, LLC under ICANN's 2012 programme, and the zone was one of 196 extensions that moved to Binky Moon in the March 2018 batch transfer. Its DNSSEC delegation is secure, with two DS records at the root.

Indian practices that put a .tax domain to work
The label belongs to tax professionals: chartered accountancy firms, GST consultants, return-filing services and audit practices whose entire offering is taxation. In India the work is seasonal and deadline-driven — monthly GSTR summaries, advance tax dates, and the return-filing rush that peaks between July and September — so a memorable address printed on visiting cards and share-able over WhatsApp earns its keep quickly.
| Practice type | Name idea | Site it supports |
|---|---|---|
| CA partnership | sharmaandco.tax | Firm profile, services, client notices |
| GST consultancy | gstguide.tax | Deadline calendar and advisory content |
| Return-filing service | fileitr.tax | Salaried ITR upload-and-file flow |
| Audit practice | auditroom.tax | Statutory and internal audit service pages |
| Payroll and TDS desk | payrollhelp.tax | Compliance calendar for employer clients |
| Appeals specialist | gstappeals.tax | Practice area page for tribunal work |
Broader financial work — investment advisory, lending, wealth management — reads better under .finance or .consulting; the whole catalogue sits on the domain registration India hub.

Do you need credentials to register a .tax name?
No — the registry verifies nothing: no ICAI membership, no GST registration, no proof of practice, and any individual or body can complete an order. What is enforced is the ordinary gTLD hygiene: truthful registrant data, a reachable email for verification and renewal notices, and use consistent with the registry's acceptable-use policy.
- Eligibility: open worldwide; intended-use wording is guidance, not a gate.
- Documents at checkout: none; GSTIN optional if you want input-credit invoicing.
- Professional care: a name implying tax expertise you do not hold can breach professional advertising norms even though the registry stays silent.
- Premium labels: shown with their real price before payment and renewed at that rate.
.tax, .accountants or .consulting — picking the right label
Take .tax when taxation is the whole practice; take .accountants when bookkeeping and audit share the spotlight; take .consulting when tax is one of several advisory lines. Extension choice has no direct effect on Google ranking — relevance of content, links and site speed decide that.
.accountants
₹11,488 first year; broader accounting identity beyond tax alone.
.consulting
₹5,116 first year — the budget pick for mixed advisory work.
.in
₹1,000 flat when local recall matters more than category branding.
Running the name after registration
Once DNS resolves, the .tax address is simply your firm's front door — and firms on deadlines should set it up once, properly. Client correspondence looks better from notices@yourfirm.tax on business email hosting; the practice site itself runs on any standard plan. Switch on auto-renew, skim the domain renewal guide for grace-period mechanics, and read domain transfer if you later consolidate names bought elsewhere.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .tax registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, an Identity Digital registry company, operates .tax. It was delegated on 23 April 2014 to Storm Orchard, LLC and moved to Binky Moon in the March 2018 transfer of 196 extensions, so it shares policies and DNSSEC practice with a very large portfolio.
Can a student or non-CA register a .tax domain?
Yes, the zone is unrestricted — the registry checks no credentials. Practical caution still applies: presenting tax advice without qualification can violate professional norms, so most registrants are or represent qualified practitioners.
How much does a .tax domain cost over five years?
₹54,967 before 18% GST at current prices: ₹9,471 for year one and four renewals at ₹11,374 each. That is a renewal-budget scenario rather than a prepaid quote; checkout shows live amounts.
Is .tax good for a GST-season content site?
Yes — deadline calendars, rate-change explainers and filing checklists are exactly the content the label was sold for, and a category address reads credibly in search results during the July–September rush.
Does .tax carry DNSSEC support?
Yes, the zone's delegation is secure with two DS records in the root. You can sign your own name under .tax once your DNS provider offers DNSSEC signing.
