VAT vs sales tax

VAT is collected at each stage of the supply chain (each business pays VAT on inputs and charges VAT on outputs). Consumers see the same end result as sales tax, but the collection mechanism is fundamentally different.

Standard rates (2024)

UK: 20%. Germany: 19%. France, Spain, Netherlands: 20-21%. Sweden, Denmark, Hungary: 25%. Most non-EU European countries: 19-25%. Many goods (food, books, medicine) get reduced rates of 0-10%.

Refunds for tourists

Many countries allow visitors to claim VAT back on purchases above a minimum (typically €25-175). You need to fill in a VAT-refund form at the shop and process it at the airport before leaving the country.
