Comparison inputs

Use this to estimate how much standard-rate VAT changes by country before you decide whether reduced rates, OSS, or reverse charge rules apply.

This uses standard VAT rates only. Reduced rates, exemptions, marketplace rules, destination VAT, OSS, and reverse charge treatment can change the real result.

When this comparison helps

Practical uses

  • Estimate how much VAT changes by customer country when using standard rates.
  • Compare net-to-gross pricing for quotes, checkout configuration, and invoices.
  • Find countries where standard-rate VAT has the largest effect on a fixed price.

What it does not decide

The comparison does not decide the place of supply, whether OSS applies, whether reverse charge applies, or whether a reduced rate should be used. Use it as arithmetic support, then verify the transaction rule.
