Indirect tax changes
One citable page per confirmed change — what changed, when it bites, and the official source that proves it. 289 changes across 108 jurisdictions, drawn from Last Week in Taxes. For what takes effect next, month by month, see the compliance calendar.
Dated by announcement, not by when the rule takes effect. Only changes carrying a recorded announcement date are plotted; the rest are counted beside the total but left off the grid rather than parked on the day we happened to publish them. Systematic scanning began in April 2026, so earlier weeks are sparse because coverage was starting up, not because nothing changed.
