Selling to customers in another EU country
Once your sales to consumers in other EU countries pass €10,000 in a year — all of them together, not per country — you charge each customer the VAT rate of the country they live in, not your own. You do not register in every country for that: the One-Stop Shop (OSS) lets you declare and pay all of it through one return in your home country.
Sales to VAT-registered businesses are different. With a valid VAT number from the buyer, the invoice usually carries no VAT and the buyer accounts for it under the reverse charge. Check the number in the EU's VIES service before you rely on it.
Setting these rates up in WooCommerce
WooCommerce does not know any of these rates until you enter them. Under WooCommerce → Settings → Tax, add one row per country to Standard rates with its two-letter code, and put reduced rates in their own tax class so a product can be assigned to one.
If one product you sell is really two things taxed at different rates — a meal deal with food and drink in it, a gift box with a book — a single tax class cannot be right for it. SplitVAT divides that product's price across the tax classes you already have, so the order shows each part at its own rate. It is our plugin, and you only need it if your products are like that.
Where these rates come from
Rates checked on 30 October 2026 against the published rate data and each country's 2026 changes. Rates move — ten member states changed a reduced rate in 2026 alone — so confirm the rate for your product with the tax authority before you file. The EU's official database, filled in by the member states themselves, is Taxes in Europe (TEDB).
