Understanding EU VAT

B2B Sales (Reverse Charge)

When selling to businesses in other EU countries with valid VAT numbers, the reverse charge mechanism applies. No VAT is charged; the buyer accounts for VAT in their country.

B2C Sales (OSS)

For sales to consumers in other EU countries, use the One-Stop Shop (OSS) to report and pay VAT. Charge the customer's country VAT rate for digital goods and services.

Reduced Rates

Most EU countries have reduced VAT rates for specific categories like food, books, medicines, and public transport. Use the custom rate field to calculate with reduced rates.

VAT Number Validation

Always validate EU VAT numbers before applying reverse charge. Use our EU VAT Number Validator to verify business registration.
