Where This Data Comes From

Two European Commission sources, joined at 1 January 2017, where they agree on every member state. Nothing here is estimated, and periods are never rewritten once published โ€” a rate change is a new record, not an edit to an old one.

The whole series for all 27 member states is one JSON file, MIT licensed, no API key: eu-vat-rates-history.json. Last rebuilt 13 August 2026.

Historical rates are published for reference. Which rate applies to a given supply also depends on the place-of-supply and time-of-supply rules in force at the time, which this dataset does not model. For Romanian filings, confirm with the tax authority or an adviser. The Commissionโ€™s own record has gaps โ€” where one is known, the missing period is filled from national legislation and labelled as such above. Spot another, and the issue tracker is open.
