    New page: Orlando property tax, levy by levy. The 2026 proposed and 2025 final millage of every levy on an Orlando bill, rebuilt from the Property Appraiser's detailed tables for all twenty of the city's tax-roll codes (each adds up to the published total), with the homestead exemption, Save Our Homes, the 10% non-homestead cap, the stormwater fee and the early-payment discounts applied. Florida's homestead exemption updated to $51,411 for 2026 ($25,000 on every levy).

    Canadian car tax: trade-ins are now deducted — from the GST/HST in all thirteen jurisdictions and from the provincial tax where each province allows it (all four with their own sales tax at a dealer; British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba privately; not Ontario or Quebec privately; never from the luxury tax). Private-sale rules added for Saskatchewan (6% on the greater of price and Red Book retail, exempt to $5,000) and Manitoba (7% on the greater of price and Black Book wholesale), and Alberta and the territories shown as tax-free for a private sale.

    Married couples: the engine now takes how the household income divides between the spouses. District of Columbia (separate filing on the same return, Calculation J), Delaware (separate determination, § 1108), Mississippi (combined return), Arkansas (filing status 4), Virginia (Spouse Tax Adjustment, up to $259) and South Carolina (two wage earner credit, up to $350) are applied; Missouri uses the actual split.

    Checked every state read from a withholding or payroll document for a one-year lag. Only Arkansas lags (already declared as the 2025 indexing). Missouri, Oregon, Illinois and Michigan re-index each year and their 2026 withholding figures are the 2026 ones: none repeats the 2025 return's figure, and where we read the 2025 withholding document too (Missouri, Oregon, Michigan) it matched the 2025 return, so these states withhold on the current year. Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Mississippi and Oklahoma set their figures in statute; Maryland's indexed deduction and Kentucky's come from other documents. Michigan's $5,900 personal exemption, previously unconfirmed, is now confirmed.

Why a changelog for tax data

Tax figures go stale in a way that is invisible from the page. A rate entered once and never revisited looks exactly like one checked last week, and there is no signal to distinguish them unless a record exists.

That is not hypothetical. Of 42 states checked against their own department of revenue, 22 carried a wrong rate, threshold or credit in the compiled sources everyone uses — usually because legislation passed after the compilation was assembled, sometimes with retroactive effect to 1 January.

So every change to an underlying figure is recorded here with its date and its source. Combined with the per-figure dates on the sources page, that means you can see not only what a number is but when it became that and why.

This log records all data changes, including routine ones where nothing was wrong. Errors specifically — our mistakes rather than the world changing — are on the corrections page.

The Canadian entries below show why the record matters more than the figure. The CRA publishes its payroll formulas guide twice a year, and the July 2026 edition changed three provinces retroactively to 1 January. Nothing about the January edition signals that it has been superseded, so a rate entered from it in February and never revisited looks identical to one checked yesterday — and in two provinces it was wrong.

How to read an entry

Each entry has a date, what changed, the source it came from, and which calculators it affected. The source is the part worth checking: it names a specific publication rather than a department, so you can open it and see the figure yourself.

Entries fall into three kinds. Loading — a figure or a data set added for the first time. Correcting — a figure that was wrong, whether because we misread a source or because the source itself was out of date. Updating — a figure that changed because the law changed.

The distinction between correcting and updating matters more than it might seem. An update is the world moving; a correction is us having been wrong. Both are recorded here, and the corrections page carries the second kind with the cause and the test that now prevents it.

What you will not find is an entry saying the site was "reviewed" or "kept up to date" with no specific change attached. A log of activity rather than of changes tells a reader nothing, which is why this one only records things that actually moved.

Where to go next

Questions

How often does tax data change?
Federal figures once a year when the IRS publishes the revenue procedure. State figures continuously, on 51 separate legislative calendars, frequently mid-year and sometimes backdated to 1 January.
Why not just show a "last updated" date?
Because it would be true of one figure and misleading about the rest. A page refreshed last week can contain a state rate entered eighteen months ago. Dating figures rather than pages is the only version that means anything.
What is the difference between this and corrections?
This records every data change, including routine annual updates where nothing was wrong. Corrections records only our own errors, with what caused them and what now prevents them.
Can I be notified of changes?
Not yet — there is no subscription mechanism. This page is the record, and each figure on the sources page carries its own verification date.
