Terms of Service

Acceptance of terms

By using VATchecker ("the site", "we", "us"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What VATchecker provides

VATchecker provides free, client-side tools — including a VAT/GST threshold checker, invoice generator, reverse VAT calculator, VAT number validator, and country rate guides — for informational purposes only. The site does not require account creation or payment.

No professional advice

Nothing on this site constitutes tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice. Information is general in nature and may not apply to your specific circumstances. Always verify with the relevant tax authority or a qualified professional before making decisions. See our disclaimer for more detail.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulation
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the site's operation, including automated scraping that degrades service for other users
• Misrepresent invoices generated by this tool as being independently verified or audited
• Reverse engineer, copy, or resell the site's tools as your own product

Invoice generator

The invoice generator is a formatting tool. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter and for ensuring any invoice you issue complies with your country's legal and tax requirements. VATchecker does not store, transmit, or review the content of invoices you create — all data is processed in your browser only.

Third-party data and links

VAT/GST rates and thresholds are sourced from official government websites and third-party data providers. EU VAT number validation uses the European Commission's VIES system, which we do not control. We link to external sites (government tax authorities, accounting software) for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or availability.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VATchecker and its operators accept no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of the site, including reliance on any information, calculation, or invoice generated by it.

Advertising

This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. See our privacy policy for details on how advertising cookies are used.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
