The ‘Taxes in Europe’ database is the European Commission’s on-line information tool covering the main taxes in force in the EU Member States. The system contains information on around 650 taxes, as provided to the European Commission by the Ministries of Finance of the EU Member States. Access is free for all users.
The information can be found quickly and easily using the search tool.
Please note the current limitations of VAT searches by CN and CPA codes:
Countries are currently still compiling the list of CN and CPA codes for those goods and services to which the standard VAT rates do not apply. Until the Member States have started introducing these CN and CPA codes in the database, a search for applicable VAT rates in these specific countries by CN codes (for goods) and/or CPA codes (for services) returns only the standard VAT rate of the country concerned. For those countries, we therefore advise to search by product category(ies) instead of CN/CPA codes.
- Search by CN codes (goods): The VAT search for applicable VAT rates for goods by CN code is still not fully functional for Cyprus, Italy and Northern Ireland.
For these countries, please search “by product category” instead. - Search by CPA codes (services): The VAT search for applicable VAT rates for services by CPA code is still not fully functional for Cyprus, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Malta, Northern Ireland, Poland, Slovenia.
For these countries, please search “by product category” instead
