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.
Frequently asked questions
What must an EU VAT invoice include? +
A full VAT invoice should show the word Invoice, a unique sequential number, the issue date, your name/business and VAT number, the customer's name and (for B2B) their VAT number, a description of the goods or services, the net amount, the VAT rate and amount, and the gross total. For intra-EU B2B sales the reverse charge may apply.
Which VAT rate should I use? +
Use the standard rate of the country whose VAT applies to the sale - commonly 19% to 25% depending on the member state - or the relevant reduced/zero rate for your product. This generator lets you set the rate per line item. If you are unsure which country's rate applies (for cross-border or digital sales), check the place-of-supply rules or your accountant.
What is the intra-EU reverse charge? +
For many B2B sales between VAT-registered businesses in different EU countries, you do not add VAT - instead you note 'reverse charge' and the customer accounts for the VAT in their country. Include both VAT numbers on the invoice. This tool helps you format the invoice; it does not decide whether the reverse charge applies to your sale.
