| IVA, standard rate | 10% Standard rate for taxable transactions not expressly subject to the 5% rate or a special regime. It covers, among other things, most goods and services, independent personal and professional services, property letting not exclusively for residential use, and products outside the statutory 5% categories. |
| IVA, reduced rate | 5% Property letting exclusively for residential use, including rights of use and usufruct; sales of real estate (the 5% on the real estate sale is calculated only on 30% of the transaction value); sales and imports of rice, pasta, vegetable oil, yerba mate, milk, eggs, flour and iodised salt; the agricultural, horticultural and fruit products specifically listed by law and certain primary derivatives; listed live animals and primary livestock products; and products registered as medicines for human use with the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare. |
Special regimes do not create additional general rates for this calculator. Under the Shopping Tourism Regime (RTC), imports of specified goods use a reduced taxable base resulting in an effective 1.25% VAT burden, while specified sales between RTC taxpayers and to foreign tourists are exempt. For qualifying sales of used motor vehicles under Decree 4634/2020, the 10% rate is applied only to 30% of the vehicle price.

VAT rounding: the EU, the UK and other European countries
The EU VAT Directive and the Court of Justice of the European Union leave VAT rounding rules to be decided at national level. National rules vary. In the UK, HMRC allows VAT on B2B invoices to be rounded down to the nearest whole penny.
Roundings in VAT calculation: Mathematically impossible prices?
There are a whole range of VAT-inclusive prices that cannot be mathematically arrived at if the tax is calculated from the VAT-free price. One example is 3.99. These prices are also possible, but then the VAT-free price must be interpreted as rounded.
VAT Gap - How much VAT is left uncollected in EU countries?
9.5% of VAT was left uncollected in EU countries. See the list of EU countries and candidate countries.
In Europe there is VAT - in the US sales tax
In Europe, companies belonging to the production chain account for the VAT paid by the consumer to the state in proportion to their value added. The US sales tax, on the other hand, is billed entirely by the company that made the consumer sale. Sales tax is paid to local operators, not to the state.
Many of today's taxes were already in use in Antiquity. Deciding on taxation has moved from autocrats to parliaments and the level of taxation has risen. In earlier times taxes were used to wage wars, today taxes are used to maintain welfare states.
