2 Description of Service
EU VAT Calculator provides a free, static web tool that helps users determine whether the VAT reverse charge mechanism applies to cross-border B2B services within the European Union, based on EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC, Article 196.
The Service includes:
- A VAT reverse charge calculator for all 27 EU member states
- Country-pair guides with invoice checklists and legal references
- Educational guides on EU VAT rules for freelancers and SaaS companies
- An FAQ covering common EU VAT reverse charge questions
All calculations are performed in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or process any data you enter into the calculator.
