Estimate VAT on EU goods prices and check practical next steps for a Great Britain-based seller. Choose goods or services, customer and destination. EUR only; no currency conversion.
Enter the total goods value in a parcel before VAT to estimate destination-country VAT. For GB consumer imports, guidance changes automatically at €150: IOSS is optional up to and including that value, and unavailable above it. Qualifying marketplaces normally collect low-value checkout VAT; above €150, check the platform, importer and delivery arrangements instead of assuming the marketplace pays.
Import figures are VAT estimates on goods value, not final landed costs or instructions to charge VAT again. Delivery, customs duty and handling may add costs. Covered low-value consumer imports have a separate temporary €3 customs duty per declared goods category/line from July 2026, not a flat amount per parcel. Supported services retain digital-consumer and B2B reverse-charge guidance; special services require review.

For eligible non-excise consumer parcels worth no more than €150 before VAT, IOSS is optional. You can collect destination VAT at checkout after valid IOSS registration, normally through an EU intermediary for a GB seller. Without IOSS, VAT is collected through the import process. This calculator does not assume you are registered.
It applies to the total intrinsic value of the goods in the parcel, excluding VAT and separately shown delivery. €150 qualifies; €150.01 does not. Above the limit, IOSS is unavailable and you must confirm normal import arrangements.
A qualifying facilitating marketplace normally collects VAT on eligible consumer imports up to €150 and on consumer sales from EU stock by a non-EU seller. A listing website is not automatically responsible. Follow the platform's shipping and VAT instructions and do not charge again. Above €150, the low-value rule does not automatically make it responsible.
No. Duties-paid delivery allocates import costs to the seller, but does not itself resolve importer, VAT registration or reporting obligations. Confirm the importer and delivery terms. If the customer pays import charges, disclose likely VAT, duty and clearance fees before purchase.
No. The estimate applies the country's standard VAT rate to goods value only. Import VAT can also include delivery and duty. From 1 July 2026, covered low-value B2C imports attract €3 customs duty per declared goods line/category, not per parcel. Above €150, duty depends on product and origin. Neither duty nor clearance fees are calculated here.
Holding or moving EU stock can trigger local VAT registration and reporting. Ordinary domestic sales normally belong on the local return; eligible cross-border consumer sales may use Union OSS. Platform VAT collection does not remove stock obligations. A GB seller generally cannot use the €10,000 distance-selling threshold.
Standard-rated automated digital services to EU consumers normally attract destination VAT, with non-Union OSS available for eligible declarations. Confirmed general-rule B2B services normally use reverse charge: seller VAT is zero, but this is not a 0% rate. Other consumer services, special services and platform arrangements need a specific review.
