VAT periods

A VAT period is a specific time frame for which a business calculates and reports its Value Added Tax (VAT) obligations to the tax authorities.

The length of a VAT period can vary depending on the size of the business. The most common VAT period in the EU is monthly reporting, but it can also be quarterly or annual. For international transactions, it’s good to be aware that countries establish specific parameters for VAT returns, which often means different reporting schedules and deadlines.

The tables in this section are related to VAT periods.
