EE VAT Rate from 22% to 24% per 2025-07-01 (until 2029-01-01)?

Open mtarnovan opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

According to this Estonia has two reduced VAT rates applicable in 2024 of 9% and 5%, this repo only has the 9% one.

Additionally, according to the same article, the increase in standard VAT rate from 20% to 22% is effective from 2025-06-01, not 2024-01-01 as it shows currently in the JSON file.

However, in the official docs I can't find a reference to the new 22% rate.

@mtarnovan This (official) source references the 22% standard VAT rate effective as per 2024-01-01.

Your link talks about an additional increase from 22% to 24% by July 2025 (not 20 to 22%).

As for the reduced rates, I am thinking of removing those from this repository altogether as it's a bit of a hassle to come up with a generalized way that works across all EU countries... Plus as you said, they are not 100% correct right now anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply.

It is indeed annoying that there is no generalized way, I wanted to send a PR to add the 5% one, but wasn't even sure, would this be reduced1/reduced2 or reduced/super_reduced or something else...? However, please reconsider removing them, we really need those. Even if they are not 100% correct all the time, it's still useful to have a change signal from this repo.

@dannyvankooten I agree with @mtarnovan regarding removed reduces rates even though it's not always 100% correct, this is currently the best (and I think only) library out there. Hats off for maintaining it!

I didn't notice this issue before I already opened a PR to add the 2nd reduced rate in #25.

Is there a way to separate out the change for the increase in the top rate (to 24%) from the change for support for a second reduced rate?
