VAT Reverse Charge by Country
The reverse charge shifts VAT accounting from the supplier to the buyer in cross-border B2B transactions. Pick a country for the rules that apply when you trade with a business there — invoice wording, the standard rate, and how to verify the buyer's VAT number first. For the mechanism in general, see the reverse charge guide.
