Example: Germany — €5,000 net + 19% MwSt = €5,950 gross · France — €3,000 net + 20% TVA = €3,600 gross

Formula

Add VAT: Gross = Net × (1 + Rate/100) | Remove VAT: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate/100)

The arithmetic is the same as UK VAT — only the rate changes by country. For Germany's 19% rate: Net × 1.19 = Gross; Gross ÷ 1.19 = Net.

Worked Example

Scenario: UK business sells software (SaaS) to a German consumer for €500 net. German VAT at 19% applies.

VAT = €500 × 19% = €95.00

Gross = €500 + €95 = €595.00

Under EU OSS rules, the UK seller may need to register and remit this German VAT. Consult a tax adviser for cross-border obligations.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the wrong rate for the goods. Most EU countries have reduced rates for food, books, or medicines. The standard rate is not always correct.
  • Assuming B2B and B2C rules are the same. For B2B sales within the EU, reverse charge may apply and VAT is not charged by the seller. B2C sales are charged at the consumer's country rate.
  • Treating rates as fixed. EU member states can and do change VAT rates. Always verify current rates before filing.
