How VAT works across Europe

Every EU country charges VAT on most goods and services. The rate varies quite a bit from country to country. Hungary sits at the top with 27%, while Switzerland charges just 8.1%. If you are buying something for business purposes, you can usually reclaim the VAT you paid, which is what makes VAT different from a straightforward sales tax.

If you are selling to customers in other EU countries, the rules around which country's VAT applies depend on whether you are selling B2B or B2C, and whether you have crossed the One Stop Shop (OSS) threshold. Most small businesses use their home country's rate until they hit €10,000 in cross-border sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

VAT stands for Value Added Tax. It is a consumption tax added to goods and services at each stage of production and sale. As a consumer you pay it as part of the price. As a business you collect it from customers and pass it to the government, minus the VAT you paid on your own purchases.
