This is a non-authoritative yet up to date document on the subject : http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf To quote the document : "The information has been supplied by the respective Member States, but part of it has not been verified by some of them yet. The Commission cannot be held responsible for its accuracy or completeness, neither does its publication imply any endorsement by the Commission of those Member States’ legal provisions." According to the main document on the European Commission main site [1], the only way to be sure of VAT rates is to contact member countries' ministries, listed there : http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/common/links/tax/index_en.htm HTH Francois [1] http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/index_en.htm "The most reliable source of information on current VAT rates for a specified product in a particular Member State is that country's VAT authority." _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
