Methodology

Applies the country's standard VAT rate from the country profile. Reduced rates, zero-rated supplies, exempt categories, and intra-EU reverse-charge rules are not modelled. Use this for orientation only — not VAT compliance.

Country data last updated .

These calculations are informational estimates based on headline rates and transparent assumptions — not tax, accounting, or legal advice. Verify with a qualified local advisor before relying on the results.

Data limitations

  • VAT figures are standard rates only; reduced and zero rates, registration thresholds, and sector exemptions are not modelled.
  • Estimates use headline rates; your effective rate depends on deductions, incentives, timing, and local taxes specific to your business.
