What VAT rate applies to your products in Europe? The “VAT RATE FINDER” enables e-traders & merchants to determine this precisely, to optimize their sales prices and minimize risks.

WHO IS THIS SERVICE FOR?

VAT rates in Europe are governed by a Community framework that allows each Member State to define standard VAT rate and reduced VAT rates (> see our article.)

Knowing the VAT rate applicable to your products in each EU country is essential:

  • if you are an e-merchant selling to individuals within the European Union,
  • if you are a trader and make taxable purchases and resales in other European Union countries.

What for?

Applying the correct VAT rate to your products in each country represents both an opportunity and a risk:

  • When purchasing, if a standard rate is applied instead of a reduced rate, the tax authorities may deny you the right to deduct VAT wrongly paid to your suppliers.
  • At the point of sale, if you wrongly apply a reduced VAT rate, the tax authorities may reassess you for the amount of VAT not collected (amount of VAT normally due when applying the standard rate – amount of VAT collected at the reduced rate = basis for the tax reassessment).

We offer you a dashboard which, for each product, indicates whether a reduced VAT rate is likely to apply in certain European Union countries. Otherwise, the standard rate applies.

International expansion brings with it a host of logistical, social and tax issues. VAT regulations are among the most complex to master. Regulations change quickly, and the risks are significant.
