International Sales Tax & VAT Calculators 2026

I'm selling goods from the US or Canada into the EU

Once your cross-border B2C sales to EU consumers exceed €10,000 per year, you must charge VAT at the buyer's country rate (not your own). Each country-specific calculator below handles that calculation: use Germany MwSt, France TVA, Spain IVA, or Italy IVA depending on where your customers are located. For goods valued under €150, the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) simplifies customs clearance.

I'm a UK business selling to EU customers post-Brexit

The UK is no longer part of the EU VAT system. UK businesses exporting goods to EU consumers may need to register for VAT in individual EU member states once local distance-selling thresholds are exceeded, or use the IOSS for consignments under €150. Use the UK VAT Calculator for domestic UK transactions and the country-specific EU tools for cross-border sales.

I'm selling SaaS or digital products internationally

Digital services face destination-country VAT immediately — there is no €10,000 OSS threshold for digital goods. Every B2C sale to an EU consumer is taxable from day one at the buyer's country rate. This makes the individual country VAT calculators essential: use Germany MwSt or France TVA to quote accurate prices inclusive of local VAT.

I'm an expat or traveler checking retail prices

Consumer prices in the EU and UK always include VAT — unlike the US where tax is added at the register. To find the pre-tax price, use the reverse / remove tools. To see how much of your receipt was tax, use the extract calculators. Try the VAT Reverse Calculator or VAT Included / Excluded UK for quick conversions.

How VAT Works (EU & UK)

VAT is a multi-stage consumption tax collected at every step of the supply chain. Businesses charge VAT on their sales (output tax) and reclaim the VAT they paid on purchases (input tax), remitting only the net difference to the tax authority. The end consumer bears the full cost because they cannot reclaim the tax. The basic formula is VAT = Net Price × Rate. Brutto / Netto (Germany), TTC / HT (France), and Inc. VAT / Ex. VAT (UK) all express the same concept.

How GST/HST Works (Canada)

Canada's federal Goods and Services Tax (5% GST) applies nationwide and is functionally identical to VAT — a multi-stage tax with full input tax credits. Five provinces (Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Prince Edward Island) harmonise their provincial sales tax into a single HST. Nova Scotia is 14%, while New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Prince Edward Island are 15%. British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec charge GST plus a separate provincial sales tax (PST or QST), requiring dual remittance.

How US Sales Tax Works

Unlike VAT, US sales tax is applied only at the final point of sale to the end consumer. Businesses generally do not reclaim sales tax on their purchases, and there is no federal sales tax — rates are set at the state, county, and city levels, creating over 10,000 unique tax jurisdictions. This is why US tax compliance requires ZIP-code level lookup tools, while EU and UK compliance only needs the country rate.

Global Seller Compliance Thresholds

Digitalization has led to the introduction of remote-seller tax laws worldwide. Non-resident companies selling software, SaaS, or physical items to consumers in Canada, the UK, or the EU must often register and collect local taxes once global sales cross regional thresholds. In Canada, the threshold is $30,000 CAD over any trailing 12-month period. In the UK, the VAT registration threshold is £90,000. In the EU, cross-border B2C goods sales exceed the €10,000 OSS threshold before VAT at the buyer's rate applies — digital services are immediately taxable from the first sale. Accurate calculations ensure global compliance and protect profit margins.
