EU VAT rates
These standard-rate snapshots are generated from VAT Engine’s dated TEDB import. The displayed date is when the rate was observed in that source snapshot; it is not presented as the legal start date of an unchanged rate. Reduced rates, exceptions, and historical changes vary by product and date.
The country cards show the rate generally applied to most goods and services, observed in VAT Engine’s dated TEDB source snapshot.
Reduced, super-reduced, zero, parking, and derogated rates can apply to eligible supplies. A country standard rate cannot classify a product.
Place-of-taxation rules determine which country’s rules matter, while the supply date matters when rates or classifications change over time.
