VAT and GST rates by country

The standard rate of VAT, GST or the nearest equivalent, with where each figure comes from. Pick a country for a free invoice that starts with its rate. In the United States, rates are set by each state: see sales tax by state.

How these figures were checked

  • Most come from PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries, which lists the date it last reviewed each country. In a separate check, 16 of 17 sampled figures were also found on another official, international or Big-4 page, with the quoted sentence confirmed on that page; the rest could not be confirmed by our checker (one page writes the number in a different format).
  • Other countries are included only if a country tax authority, ministry or international body page, or a recent Big-4 guide, states the rate and the quoted sentence was found on the page. Older or second-hand sources were left out.
  • 151 countries have a confirmed standard rate, 12 have several rates or taxes, 11 are listed by the source as having no VAT, and 33 have no confirmed figure yet. Those show no number.
  • All read on 2026-10-26. Rates change. This is not tax advice: check with the country's tax authority.
