About EU VAT
VAT (value-added tax) is a consumption tax built into the price of most goods and services. Every EU country sets its own standard rate — from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary — plus reduced rates for specific categories. This tool uses each country’s 2026 standard rate.
To add VAT, multiply the net amount by the rate. To extract VAT from a gross price, divide by (1 + rate) to get the net, and the remainder is the VAT. When you sell across EU borders to consumers, the rate that applies can be the customer’s country rate rather than yours — see the OSS threshold checker.
Rates change and reduced rates vary by product — treat this as indicative and confirm the exact rate with the national tax authority.
Below the €10,000 EU-wide distance-selling threshold you charge your own country’s rate; above it you charge the customer’s country rate and file via OSS. Use the OSS threshold checker to see which side of the line you’re on.
Selling across Europe?
We build multi-country, multi-currency stores that handle VAT, OSS and localisation cleanly — so cross-border selling doesn’t become a compliance headache.
