EU VAT Quick Checker

Fast VAT Answers for Digital Creators

The EU VAT Quick Checker is a specialized tool designed for independent developers, artists, and digital service providers selling cross-border in the EU. Navigating the Union One Stop Shop (OSS) and "deemed supplier" rules is complex; this skill simplifies the process by providing instant technical determinations about tax liability, platform responsibilities, and country-specific rates.

What it does

This skill functions as a high-speed reference and decision engine for digital sales. It identifies whether a specific sale belongs on your OSS return or is managed by a platform (like Etsy or Gumroad), looks up 2026 standard VAT rates for all 27 EU member states, and performs instant gross-to-net VAT extractions.

• Platform Identification: Instantly check if platforms like Stripe, VGen, or itch.io remit VAT on your behalf.
• OSS Decision Logic: Determines if a sale is B2C cross-border and requires reporting.
• VAT Extraction: Calculates the tax portion of a gross price based on the destination country.
• Threshold & Deadlines: Provides the €10,000 threshold status and quarterly filing dates.

Why use this skill?

It eliminates the guesswork in distinguishing between "collecting" VAT and "remitting" it, so your records start from the right answer.

Calculation aid, not tax advice. VAT rates and platform Merchant-of-Record status change — verify the rate and your OSS registration before filing.
