Common Questions

VAT Reference FAQ

Where does this data come from?

The rates and filing information are compiled by VAT Support from official government tax authority websites and verified publications, current as of early 2026.

How does UK VAT work after Brexit?

Since 1 January 2021, the UK operates its own VAT system independently of the EU. The standard rate remains 20%, but UK and EU VAT registrations are entirely separate. Businesses selling into both markets typically need registrations in both jurisdictions.

Which EU country has the highest VAT rate?

Hungary has the highest standard VAT rate in the EU at 27%, followed by Croatia, Denmark, and Sweden at 25%, and Finland at 25.5%.
