Indirect tax

VAT rates by country

VAT rates by country differ widely, and many countries use their own name for the tax — GST, IGI in Andorra, GCT in Jamaica, consumption tax in Japan. TaxOrch gives each country's standard rate with the official source and tax year, and recognises the local name so the question does not have to say VAT.

How TaxOrch does it

  1. Ask by country

    Ask for the standard rate in any country, using its local name for the tax if you like.

  2. Source and year

    Each rate shows where it was published and for which year.

  3. Registration questions

    Ask whether a business must register and the answer states the rate and the conditions.

Questions buyers ask

Are reduced rates included?

The standard rate is always shown; reduced rates and exemptions are noted where the source publishes them.

How current are the rates?

Each answer shows the tax year of the published figure, so you can see how current it is.
