All EU VAT Rates Tables Are Updated
We have updated and extended the list of goods and services covered in the EU VAT Rates Tables, following recent amendments to the EU VAT Directive effective as of 1 January 2024.
Based on amendments to the EU VAT Directive effective as of 1 January 2024, the list of goods and services eligible for VAT reduced rates in the European Union is extended to support:
- health systems;
- the EU environmental commitments on decarbonization; and
- the digital transformation of the economy.
The amendments to the EU VAT Directive also entail making available for all Member States what used to be specific country-derogations covering, inter alia:
- the supply of medicines;
- pharmaceutical products;
- health and hygiene products;
- transportation of persons;
- certain cultural items (such as e-books and e-newspapers);
- solar panels; or
- waste recycling.
As a consequence of the above-noted changes to the VAT Directive, EU Member States have amended their domestic legislation accordingly. You may view the latest applicable VAT rates in various Member States by accessing the EU VAT Rates Tables at the link below.
