Who We Are
VAT Calculator is run by a small, dedicated team with a background in finance and web development. We built this site because we kept running into the same problem — existing VAT tools were either outdated, cluttered with ads, or only covered one country. We wanted something cleaner, faster, and more reliable.
Every rate on this site is manually reviewed and updated whenever budgets are announced or legislation changes. If you spot an error or have a suggestion, we’d love to hear from you — head to our Contact Us page and drop us a message.
