Get VAT and GST Rates API

What it does

VAT and GST Rates returns standard and reduced tax rates for 61 countries and regions, along with a data version, as-of date, and a verification note for each country.

Send a region, a country or list of countries, or a currency code in the request body to narrow the table. Use region to filter to one of the supported regions, country to look up one country or multiple named entries, and currency to return only countries that use that currency code. Leave those filters out to get the full table.

Use VAT and GST Rates when you need tax reference data for checkout logic, invoicing rules, price display, or country-based compliance checks. The response is a structured lookup you can cache, compare against your internal tax tables, or use to keep product settings aligned with current VAT and GST rates.

About this endpoint

What it does

Returns standard and reduced VAT and GST rates from a maintained rate table. Send nothing to get the whole table, or narrow it by region, country or currency. Every response says which version of the table it comes from, when it was last entered and when it will be reviewed next.

The table currently has 61 countries and regions: 27 EU member states, 6 other European countries, 8 Canadian entries (GST only, plus the provinces with their own rate), and countries in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and the Americas. Use the count field in the response for the exact number. The US is not included because it has no VAT. For US sales tax use the Sales Tax Calculator API.

Request Body

All fields are optional. Send an empty object {} to get the whole table.

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
region	ENUM	No	Only the countries of one region. Allowed values: `eu`, `other-europe`, `canada`, `asia-pacific`, `middle-east-africa`, `americas`. Lowercase only.
country	String / String Array	No	A country name, or a list of 1 to 60 names, for example `Germany` or `["Germany", "UK", "Canada - Ontario HST"]`. Names are not case sensitive, and extra spaces are ignored. Common short names such as `UK` and `Czech Republic` work. An unknown name returns a 400 error that lists the supported names.
currency	String	No	Only the countries that use this currency code, for example `EUR`. If no country in the table uses the code, you get an empty list with `count` 0.

When you send more than one filter, only the rows that match all of them are returned. For example, region: "canada" with country: "Germany" returns no rows.
