What an invoice must show
Under the EU VAT Directive (Article 226) a full VAT invoice must show:
- the date of issue and a unique sequential invoice number
- the supplier's VAT identification number
- the customer's VAT number where the customer is liable for the tax (for example under the reverse charge)
- the full names and addresses of the supplier and the customer
- the quantity and nature of the goods or the extent and nature of the services
- the date of supply or payment, where it differs from the invoice date
- the taxable amount per rate or exemption, the unit price excluding VAT and any discounts
- the VAT rate applied and the amount of VAT payable
- the reason for any exemption, or the words "Reverse charge" where the customer accounts for the VAT
- Invoice annex (KMD INF) listing invoices of EUR 1,000 or more per partner is filed with the VAT return
Selling to other EU countries: reverse charge and OSS
A sale of goods or services to a VAT-registered business in another EU country is usually invoiced without local VAT under the reverse charge: the customer accounts for the VAT in their own country, and the invoice must say "Reverse charge" and show both VAT numbers.
Sales to consumers in other EU countries are taxed at the customer's country's rate once your EU-wide distance sales pass €10,000.00 a year. The One-Stop Shop (OSS) lets you declare that VAT in one quarterly return filed at home, instead of registering in each country.
E-invoicing
No mandatory B2B e-invoicing clearance as of Sept 2026; structured VAT source-data filing (xbrl_GL) optional from 2027

How the calculation works
Adding VAT multiplies the net price by (1 + rate). Removing VAT divides the gross price by (1 + rate). Subtracting the rate from the gross price gives the wrong answer: 19% of 119 is 22.61, but the VAT included in 119 at 19% is 19.00. Amounts are rounded to two decimals at the end.
Frequently asked questions
What is the VAT rate in Estonia?
The standard VAT rate in Estonia is 24%. Other rates of 13% and 9% apply to the goods and services listed in the table on this page.
How do I add VAT to a net price?
Multiply the net price by 1.24 (1 plus the 24% standard rate). For example, €100.00 × 1.24 = €124.00, of which €24.00 is VAT.
How do I work out the VAT included in a gross price?
Divide the gross price by 1.24. For example, €124.00 ÷ 1.24 = €100.00 net, so the VAT included is €24.00. Taking 24% of the gross price would overstate the tax.
When does a business have to register for VAT in Estonia?
Register for VAT when taxable supplies in Estonia exceed EUR 40,000 from the start of the calendar year
How often are VAT returns filed in Estonia?
Monthly VAT return (KMD) and EC sales report, due by the 20th of the following month
Do I charge VAT to business customers in other EU countries?
Usually not. Most sales of goods and services to VAT-registered businesses in another EU country are invoiced without VAT under the reverse charge, with both VAT numbers on the invoice and the words "Reverse charge". Sales to consumers are different: above the EUR 10,000 EU-wide distance-selling threshold you charge the customer's country's VAT, usually through the One-Stop Shop.
