One EU-wide threshold
Sovos's overview of the 2021 EU e-commerce VAT package describes a single pan-EU threshold of €10,000 for cross-border consumer sales. It also says businesses may be able to register in one Member State and report all EU transactions through a single OSS return.
Above that threshold you charge VAT at the buyer's country rate, which is why the calculator asks for the buyer's country.
When B2B shows 0%
The calculator applies the reverse charge, meaning 0% VAT on your invoice, when the sale is B2B and the buyer's country differs from the supplier's country. The buyer then accounts for VAT in their own country.
If both are in the same country, a B2B sale carries that country's normal VAT, so the calculator charges it. Set the supplier's country when you choose B2B, since it changes the result.
Rates differ by category and country
Each country has a standard rate and, usually, one or two reduced rates. France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain also have a super-reduced rate, while Denmark has no reduced rate at all. Where a country has two reduced rates, the Reduced button uses the lower one.
Rates change often, and several moved in 2025, including Estonia (24%), Romania (21%) and Slovakia (23%). The table was last updated in October 2026, so confirm a rate for a specific product in the EU's Taxes in Europe Database before invoicing.
FAQ
Why is Hungary's standard rate the highest at 27%?
The European Commission says a standard rate must be no less than 15% but there is no maximum, so each country picks its own. In this calculator the standard rates run from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary.
Does a B2B sale always show 0% VAT?
No. It shows 0% only when the buyer is in a different country from the supplier. For a B2B sale within one country, the calculator charges that country's VAT and does not show a reverse-charge notice.
Why does gross to net use division, not subtraction?
Because VAT was added on top of the net price. Subtracting 20% from a gross of 120 gives 96, but dividing by 1.20 gives the correct net of 100, so the VAT is 20.
How EU VAT works for online sellers
If you sell goods or digital services to customers in EU member states, you must charge VAT at the rate that applies in the buyer's country - not your own. This is the destination principle, mandatory since the EU OSS (One Stop Shop) rules took effect in July 2021.
B2C vs B2B: For consumer (B2C) sales, you charge VAT at the buyer's country rate and remit it via the EU OSS portal or your local tax authority. For sales to VAT-registered businesses (B2B), the reverse charge mechanism applies - you issue a zero-VAT invoice and the buyer self-accounts for VAT in their own country. Always quote the buyer's VAT number on B2B invoices.
Reduced and super-reduced rates: Most EU countries have at least one reduced rate for essential goods such as food, books, and medicine. France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, and Spain also apply a super-reduced rate (below 5%) for specific categories like newspapers or pharmaceuticals. Denmark is the only EU country with no reduced rate.
