Reverse-charge lookup
Tell us where you are, who you're selling to, and what you're selling. We tell you which country's VAT applies, what your invoice should say, and the legal basis.
For the full decision engine with all rule citations, see /reverse-charge/. For context on the underlying mechanic, see the reverse charge guide. According to the EU VAT Directive (Council Directive 2006/112/EC), reverse-charge treatment applies consistently across all 27 EU member states; see our methodology for the full source basis.
This tool summarizes the general rule. It is not filing or tax advice; for guidance on your specific transaction, consult a licensed accountant or the relevant tax authority before invoicing.
PlainVAT renders country-rate figures from the European Commission's Taxation and Customs Union VAT-rate registry; explanatory guidance links to its relevant authority sources. This page draws directly on the European Commission VAT-rate registry, no figure is typed in by an editor.
