What is TVA in Europe?

TVA (Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée) is the French term for VAT (Value Added Tax). It is a consumption tax included in most goods and services sold across the European Union. Even though VAT rules are harmonized at the EU level, each country sets its own rates, and many countries apply several rates depending on product category.

If you invoice clients, run an e-commerce shop, or compare prices across EU markets, understanding the difference between HT and TTC is essential:

• HT = price before VAT (hors taxe)
• TTC = price including VAT (toutes taxes comprises)
• TVA amount = the tax difference between HT and TTC

How to use this calculator tva euro

TVA formulas used

If your amount is HT

• TVA = HT × (rate / 100)
• TTC = HT + TVA

If your amount is TTC

• HT = TTC / (1 + rate / 100)
• TVA = TTC − HT

Common VAT rates in euro countries (examples)

Rates can change and reduced rates may apply. Always verify official tax administration sources for your country and product type.

• France: 20% standard, reduced rates like 10% and 5.5%
• Germany: 19% standard, reduced rate available for selected goods
• Spain: 21% standard

Practical examples

Example A: From HT to TTC

If a service costs €500 HT at 20% TVA, tax is €100 and final TTC price is €600.

Example B: From TTC to HT

If an item is sold at €121 TTC with 21% VAT, HT is €100 and TVA is €21.

Best practices for invoices and pricing

• Clearly display both HT and TTC values on quotes and invoices when required.
• Use the correct VAT rate for each product or service category.
• Round consistently to two decimal places in EUR.
• Keep VAT calculations documented for accounting and audits.
