EU VAT Calculator
Standard and reduced rates across member states.
Rates change with budgets and local ballot measures, and the rate that applies depends on the delivery address and product category. Treat these as planning figures, not as a filing.
Price including Germany VAT
€119.00
€19.00 at 19%
19% standard, 7% reduced for food, books and printed matter. Standard rates across the EU span 10 percentage points, so a fixed gross price sold across the union delivers materially different net revenue by country — which is exactly what OSS reporting forces you to confront.
How the EU VAT Calculator works
There is no single EU VAT rate. Standard rates run from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary — a ten-point spread. If you hold one inclusive price across the union, that spread comes straight out of your net revenue in the higher-rate countries.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is VAT the same across the EU?
No. The EU sets a minimum standard rate of 15% and common rules for what may be reduced, but each member state sets its own rates. Standard rates currently range from 17% to 27%.
Which rate do I charge a customer in another member state?
For B2C sales above the €10,000 cross-border threshold, the customer's country rate, reported through OSS. Below it you may charge your home rate. For B2B sales to a VAT-registered business, the reverse charge usually applies and you charge nothing.
What is the reverse charge?
For cross-border B2B supplies, the customer accounts for the VAT in their own country instead of you charging it. You need a valid VAT number for them and must state the reverse charge on the invoice.
How do reduced rates work?
Member states may apply reduced rates to categories on an agreed list — typically food, books, medicines, passenger transport and some cultural services. Which categories qualify and at what rate differs by country, so the same product can be 5.5% in France and 10% in Italy.
