GST, VAT & sales tax rates by country
The standard consumption-tax rate for 50 countries, at a glance — plus reduced rates, local names, and how income and company tax compare.
Consumption-tax rates range from 5% (UAE, Canada’s federal GST) to 27% (Hungary, the world’s highest VAT). Most of Europe sits between 19% and 25%; the GST economies (Australia 10%, Singapore 9%, New Zealand 15%) are lower and broader. The United States has no national rate at all — only state and local sales tax.
