Your friendly neighborhod income tax data and calculation API.

This repository contains the source code for the Taxee REST API. The hosted version of this API can be found on taxee.io, along with documentation on the API endpoints.

This API is written in PHP (PHP5) and utilizes the Slim Framework. The data that drives Taxee (the tax data) is contained in static JSON files. The GET requests detailed on taxee.io simply serve this static data. The PUT request (the calculation endpoint) consumes some of this static JSON data, and then performs a few minor calculations using it.
