EU VAT rates by member state

Changed on

VAT rates of the 27 EU member states from the European Commission's Taxes in Europe Database: the national standard rate and every reduced, super-reduced, parking, exempted, not applicable and out of scope entry, with its category, Combined Nomenclature and CPA codes and the member state's remark. Rates are in percent. Every answer lists the national standard rate of each requested state; set national_standard_only=true to get only that one entry per state. Member states use the codes the Commission writes (Greece is EL; GR is accepted for Greece). A separate regime such as DE Import or ES Canary Islands carries its regime name and is never the national rate. The rates are those in force on the day given in situation_on, refreshed daily.
