EU VAT: one system, 27 rates

The EU VAT Directive sets a minimum standard rate of 15%, but each member state chooses its own — from Luxembourg's 17% to Hungary's 27%. Reduced rates (and their scope) vary even more, so this tool covers standard rates only. Amounts are shown in euro, but the same percentages apply in the non-euro member states' own currencies.

For cross-border B2B sales the reverse charge usually applies (no VAT charged, customer accounts for it); for B2C distance sales the seller charges the customer's country rate via the One Stop Shop once EU-wide sales pass €10,000.

€1,190 gross, Germany (19%)

Net = 1,190 ÷ 1.19 = €1,000; VAT = €190.

Frequently asked questions

Which rate do I charge an EU customer?

B2B: usually none (reverse charge, quote both VAT numbers). B2C goods/services: the customer's country rate via OSS once you exceed the €10,000 EU-wide threshold.

Are reduced rates included?

No — they differ widely by country and product category; check the Commission's table or a local adviser.

Is the UK included?

No — the UK left the EU VAT area; use the UK VAT calculator.

Which EU country has the lowest VAT?

Luxembourg at 17%, followed by Malta at 18% and Germany, Cyprus and Romania around 19–21%.

Do I charge VAT to a customer in another EU country?

B2B: no, reverse charge with both VAT numbers on the invoice. B2C: the customer's country rate via the One Stop Shop once your EU-wide sales exceed €10,000.
