Do I need to charge VAT on digital products sold to EU customers?

Yes. Under EU VAT rules, digital products (software, SaaS, ebooks, online courses, streaming) sold to EU consumers must include VAT at the rate of the customer's country — regardless of where your business is located. This applies to any seller globally who sells to EU consumers, not just EU businesses.

Which EU country has the highest VAT rate on digital goods?

Sweden and Poland have the highest standard VAT rates at 25% and 23% respectively. Germany is 19%, France and Belgium 20%, Netherlands and Spain 21%, Italy 22%. All EU countries apply their standard VAT rate to digital goods (there are no reduced rates for digital products in the EU under current rules).

What is EU VAT MOSS and do I need to register?

MOSS (Mini One Stop Shop) was replaced by OSS (One Stop Shop) in July 2021. If you sell digital goods to EU consumers and exceed €10,000 in EU cross-border sales annually, you must register for OSS in one EU country and report all EU VAT through that single registration. Below €10,000, you can apply your home country's VAT rate.

How do I apply the correct VAT rate for an EU customer?

Determine the customer's country from their billing address or IP geolocation (two consistent pieces of evidence required). Look up that country's standard VAT rate. Add VAT on top of your price (or include it). Collect and remit via OSS registration. Payment processors like Stripe Tax or Paddle can automate this for SaaS and digital products.
