42 registrars compared — cheapest from $7.49 at Sav
Delegated in April 2014, .tax is a niche in the tax preparation industry, yet its ownership by a single company quietly shapes who gets to use it.

One Registry, Boundless Tax Niches
Every .tax domain answers to a single entity: Binky Moon, LLC. That's the registry behind this extension, part of a portfolio run through Identity Digital's platform. One registry means one set of rules, one pricing philosophy, and no competing registries to undercut each other. The extension isn't a brand-level play — it's a generic string open to anyone with a tax-related purpose, from CPAs to tax software startups. But with a single gatekeeper, the real question becomes how that registry chooses to steward the space.
The 2014 New gTLD Wave and What It Left Behind
.tax was born in the 2012 new gTLD round, one of dozens of generic strings that hit the root in April 2014. That round was ICANN's gamble on expanding the namespace beyond .com and country codes. For .tax, the timing meant entering a crowded field of finance-adjacent extensions, each vying for the same audience of accountants and fintech marketers. Unlike the speculative landrush of some generics, .tax settled into a quiet professional niche, its value tied less to hype than to the daily needs of tax preparers hunting for a memorable web address.
Pricing Spectrum or Pricing Extremes?
With 42 registrars carrying .tax, the spread between the cheapest and most expensive is a gulf: the entry-level price at Sav is roughly a tenth of what the priciest outlet charges. That's not a gentle curve — it's a cliff. For a budget-conscious solo practitioner, the savings are real, especially when renewals at Sav stay at $60.52. But the steep top end suggests some registrars treat .tax as a premium professional suffix, banking on the assumption that tax firms will pay for authority. The takeaway: shop around, because the same extension can cost you nearly ten times over elsewhere.
Not a Brand, But a Beacon of Purpose
Though .tax isn't a brand TLD — no single company uses it exclusively for its own identity — its semantic clarity gives it a functional brand-like strength. A domain like yourfirm.tax instantly signals the profession, more so than a .com or even a .finance. For accountants, tax attorneys, and software vendors, that clarity cuts through search noise. It lacks the institutional trust of .bank or the broader net of .finance, but for a tax-specific audience, precision beats breadth. In a namespace cluttered with vague generics, .tax names its purpose outright.
