Question 1

What VAT rate should I use?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your country and what you're selling. Standard EU rates range from 17-27%. Reduced rates apply to some goods and services. Medical and educational services are often exempt.

Question 2

Do I need a VAT number?

Accepted Answer

If your business revenue exceeds the VAT registration threshold in your country (varies by country), you must register for VAT and display your VAT number on invoices.

Question 3

What's the difference between a regular invoice and a VAT invoice?

Accepted Answer

A VAT invoice includes additional required information: your VAT registration number, the VAT rate applied, the VAT amount, and shows net and gross totals separately.

Question 4

Can I invoice without VAT?

Accepted Answer

If you're below the VAT threshold or provide exempt services, you can invoice at 0% VAT. Note on the invoice why VAT is not charged.
