Invoice requirements dataset

Version 1.3.0 · updated 11 November 2026 · CC BY 4.0

VAT and GST rates, tax ID labels, standard invoice notes and e-invoicing rules for 18 countries plus a generic EU entry. Each value comes with its source and the date we checked it (the US entry has no rate, so it cites nothing).

We maintain this data for the free Intaj invoice maker, which uses it to suggest tax lines when you pick a currency. We publish it on its own because anyone building an invoicing script, an accounting side project or a spreadsheet needs the same lookups.

Not tax or legal advice. Rates and rules change, and your own situation may need a different rate, an exemption or a different invoice wording. Check every value against the official source before you rely on it.

Some gaps are on purpose. US and Brazil have no default rate: US sales tax is set by states and cities, and Brazil's ISS, ICMS and IPI depend on the city, the state and the service. Some reduced rates are left out, such as France's 2.1% and the lower rates of the Azores and Madeira. Tax names and labels stay in the local language, because that's how they appear on a real invoice. A negative rate is a withholding (Spain's IRPF).

E-invoicing: when a PDF is not enough

In 11 of the entries, structured e-invoicing or certified invoicing software is already mandatory or is being phased in, so a PDF invoice may not count as a valid invoice. These entries have einvoiceWarning: true and a dated summary in einvoiceNote. The notes are short summaries; they don't replace the rules themselves.

Fields

Rates are strings with a dot as the decimal separator ("5.5"), so they don't pick up float rounding.

Use it

curl -sL https://intaj.shop/data/invoice-requirements/presets.json | jq '.countries.DE.taxes'
import json, urllib.request
data = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen("https://intaj.shop/data/invoice-requirements/presets.json"))
print(data["countries"]["FR"]["einvoiceNote"])

This address always holds the latest version. If you need the values to stay fixed, save a copy and note its version.

Updates

We re-check every entry at least once a year and whenever a rate or an e-invoicing date changes. A change in the invoice maker and a change here ship together. Found a wrong or outdated value? Email [email protected] with a link to the official source. We only change a value when we can point to a source for it.
