VAT invoices in the European Union

A VAT invoice is the document a VAT-registered business issues for a taxable sale. It separates the net price, the VAT charged, and the gross total so a business customer can reclaim the VAT. The exact requirements are broadly harmonised across the EU, though rates and some details vary by member state.

Fields an EU VAT invoice should include

  • The word "Invoice", a unique sequential number, and the date
  • Your business name, address, and VAT number
  • The customer's name and address (and VAT number for B2B)
  • A clear description of the goods or services
  • The net amount, the VAT rate, and the VAT amount
  • The gross total payable
  • A reverse-charge note where it applies to intra-EU B2B sales

Setting the right VAT rate

Each member state sets its own standard rate (commonly 19%-25%) plus any reduced rates. Set the rate per line item to match the country and product. If you only need the arithmetic, the VAT calculator adds or removes VAT at any rate.

Cross-border and the reverse charge

For B2B sales to a VAT-registered business in another EU country, the reverse charge often applies: you do not add VAT, you note "reverse charge", and you show both VAT numbers. Place-of-supply rules decide which country's VAT applies, especially for digital services. This tool formats the invoice; confirm the treatment for your specific sale.

Before sending an EU VAT invoice

VAT treatment depends on the buyer, location, product, and place-of-supply rules. Check those before relying on the PDF.

  • VAT numbers are present for B2B

    For many B2B invoices, both supplier and customer VAT numbers are important.

  • Place of supply is reviewed

    Cross-border and digital services can change which country's VAT rules apply.

  • Reverse charge note is added if applicable

    If you do not charge VAT because the buyer accounts for it, say that clearly.

  • Rates are checked per item

    Reduced and zero rates depend on the country and product category.
