Alpha testing: all current functionality is free while VAT Engine is in active development

EU VAT developer platform

EU VAT API

VAT Engine gives ecommerce and finance teams a single API surface for VAT calculation, rate lookup, tax-class context, dated requests, and account-owned calculation records.

What this helps you do

Build tax-aware checkout, ERP, marketplace, or reporting workflows without treating a generic percentage table as a compliance system.

  • Integer minor-unit calculations for gross, net, and VAT amounts.
  • Recorded-window rate lookup by member state, curated tax class, and date.
  • Account-scoped transaction and source-profile records for downstream reporting.
  • Alpha product: validate results against your business facts and professional advice.

How to use it well

Supply the transaction facts

Start with the relevant country, amount, price-inclusion basis, product tax context, and supply date; an API cannot infer those facts safely.

Use one calculation contract

Reuse the same request shape across checkout, imports, and reporting so results retain comparable context.

Store the result with its inputs

Keep the returned rate and date context beside your business record so a later review does not depend on today’s rate.
