Section 02 · EU VAT rates
Check a VAT number, look up a VAT rate.
VAT rates for the EU-27, Norway, Switzerland and the UK, each linked to the official page it was read on, plus a VAT number format check that runs in your browser.
Check a VAT number format
Runs in your browser; the number is not sent anywhere.
Start with the two-letter country prefix (EL for Greece). Spaces, dots and dashes are fine. A format check is not a validity check: to confirm that an EU number is valid, use the European Commission's official VIES checker.

How we work
- A rate appears only after we read it on an official page. Each one carries that source and the date we last checked it; anything else says "not yet verified".
- VAT number structures: 30 of 30 confirmed in official documentation. Unconfirmed ones are not tested; the format check says "format not verified".
- The format check runs in your browser; the VAT numbers you type are not sent to us or anyone else. Validity is for the official VIES checker.
