* India applies a multi-slab GST structure (commonly 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%); 18% is shown as the common standard band.
** Canada's federal GST is 5%; provinces add their own tax (HST/PST), so the effective rate is often higher.
Reduced, zero and exempt rates
Most VAT systems are not a single flat rate. Alongside the standard rate there are usually one or more reduced rates for essentials, a zero rate for exports and certain goods, and exemptions for specific services. If you are invoicing, check which category your product falls into before choosing a rate — the preset here is only the standard rate.
Reverse charge and cross-border sales
When a business in one country sells to a business in another, the reverse-charge mechanism often applies: the seller invoices without VAT and the buyer accounts for it. Consumer cross-border sales can trigger special rules too (for example, EU OSS for distance selling). Those situations need professional advice — this calculator handles straightforward add/remove maths.
