Try a free EU VAT API in your next headless commerce project

#ecommerce #api #webdev #showdev

I’m building VAT Engine, an API for developers working on headless commerce, SaaS billing, custom checkouts, and other products that need EU VAT calculations.

The current API supports:

EU VAT calculations
Current and historical VAT rates
Product tax classes
VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive prices
Source tagging for stores, storefronts, and sales channels

You can create a free account, generate an API key, and connect it to a real project or side project.

Example calculation

curl -X POST https://vat-engine.app/api/v1/vat/calculate \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "country": "DE",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "gross_amount_minor": 11900,
    "price_includes_vat": true,
    "tax_class_id": "standard",
    "transaction_date": "2026-01-28"
  }'

Example response:

{
  "country": "DE",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "vat_rate_bps": 1900,
  "gross_amount_minor": 11900,
  "net_amount_minor": 10000,
  "vat_amount_minor": 1900
}
