Liechtenstein VAT Rates

The standard MWST rate in Liechtenstein is 8.1%, with reduced rates of 2.6% and 3.8%. The European Commission publishes its dated rate series for the EU-27 only, so there is no rate history to show here – the rates below are the current ones, maintained against national sources.

Company and Tax Identifiers in Liechtenstein

What the registrar, the register and each identifier are called, in every official language and in English. These are names, not numbers.

Company registrar: German: Amt für Justiz
English: Office of Justice
Company register: German: Handelsregister
English: Commercial Register
Register number: German: Firmennummer
English: company number
Tax ID: No official name confirmed
VAT ID: No official name confirmed

Each name is checked against the registrar’s or tax authority’s own pages or legal text. The same names ship in eu-vat-rates-data.json and in GET /v1/rates.

Where This Data Comes From

The Commission databases behind the rest of this dataset cover the EU-27, so Liechtenstein is absent from them. These rates are maintained against the national tax authority when official changes are published.

Current rates for all 45 VAT jurisdictions are one JSON file, MIT licensed, no API key: eu-vat-rates-data.json. Dataset version 14 Nov 2026; for non-EU entries this is not a claim that the national rate changed or was re-verified on that date.

No dated rate history is published for Liechtenstein. Rate history covers the EU-27, where the Commission publishes a dated series – see Germany VAT rates for what that looks like. For Liechtenstein filings, confirm with the tax authority or an adviser.

The update scripts, source data, and audit trail are public in the canonical GitHub repository. If this dataset is useful in your project, a star helps other developers find it.
