The minimum non reduced rate is 15% and the average is above 20%. It goes all the way to 27% in Hungary for instance. VAT on food in restaurants is non reduced rate on mostbof Europe.
- BrandoElFollito 10y agoExcept that it is 7% on restaurant food in France. Getting back to the previous 17% (IIRC) is under discussion because the prices did not go down as promised by the restaurant owners.
- lorenzhs 10y agoAnd I just listed the rates of the three largest countries in Europe, covering ~42% of the EU population. In Germany, VAT on restaurants is 19% for sit-down places, and 7% on food to go. US national average sales tax was 8.454% in Q2/2015: http://www.accountingweb.com/tax/sales-tax/us-average-combined-sales-tax-rate-down-slightly-in-q2 http://www.accountingweb.com/tax/sales-tax/us-average-combin... - I'm assuming normal sales tax applies to restaurant food? In that case it's something like 40% of EU average. Just like gas prices ;)
