Usage

from eu_vat_rates_data import get_rate, get_standard_rate, get_all_rates, is_eu_member, data_version

# Full rate object for a country
fi = get_rate("FI")
# {
#   "country": "Finland",
#   "currency": "EUR",
#   "standard": 25.5,
#   "reduced": [10.0, 13.5],
#   "super_reduced": None,
#   "parking": None
# }

# Just the standard rate
get_standard_rate("DE")   # → 19.0

# Type guard
if is_eu_member(user_input):
    rate = get_rate(user_input)   # always returns a dict here

# All 28 countries at once
all_rates = get_all_rates()
for code, rate in all_rates.items():
    print(f"{code}: {rate['standard']}%")

# When were these rates last fetched?
print(data_version)  # e.g. "2026-02-25"

Type hints

from eu_vat_rates_data import VatRate

rate: VatRate = get_rate("FI")  # type checker knows this is a TypedDict

class VatRate(TypedDict):
    country: str
    currency: str
    standard: float
    reduced: list[float]
    super_reduced: float | None
    parking: float | None

Data structure

reduced may contain rates for special territories (e.g. French DOM departments, Azores/Madeira for Portugal). All values come verbatim from EC TEDB.

Standard ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes. Greece is GR (TEDB internally uses EL, which this package normalises).

Example

get_rate("PT")
# {
#   "country": "Portugal",
#   "currency": "EUR",
#   "standard": 23.0,
#   "reduced": [6.0, 13.0],   # mainland + Azores/Madeira variants
#   "super_reduced": None,
#   "parking": None
# }
