Standard Value-Added Tax (VAT) Rates — Europe and Neighbors, 2023 Tags:Europe 6 comments Source: [PwC](https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/quick-charts/value-added-tax-vat-rates) I don’t think it’s very comparable. A lot of things I used to buy in Germany had VAT. Now living in UK, the same things have 0%. I usually leave Lidl with the whole receipt being 0%-rated. Can someone explain why VAT is this high pretty much everywhere? Our 23% was ” temporarily” raised in 2010… In Denmark there is only one (1) VAT rate: The 25% shown on the map. No reduced rates at all. It makes sense for Croatia’s VAT to be this high because of tourism Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
