VAT Engine
EU VAT calculation and compliance API for e-commerce
What this is
A developer API that resolves and calculates EU VAT rates and generates audit-ready records for e-commerce sellers, instead of maintaining country-by-country tax spreadsheets or plugins.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Turns official EU TEDB data into a developer API that resolves current or historical VAT by country, product class and supply date, calculates exact tax amounts, stores audit-ready transaction evidence, monitors OSS thresholds, and prepares OSS/IOSS reports.
- What's different
- Covers all 27 EU countries and 37 merchant-friendly tax classes in one API instead of spreadsheets or per-country plugins.
- Best for
- E-commerce developers who need programmatic EU VAT calculation and compliance reporting.
- Watch out
- Currently in alpha.

Dev. Launched 9d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 10 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 9 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”

Beyan değil kanıt: founder “çalışıyoruz” diye post atabilir, ama sevk ettiyse izi kalır. ⚠️ Kaydı olmayan ürün “sevk etmedi” demek değildir — o üründe izleyecek bir kaynağımız yok demektir.
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 10 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About

Resolve current or historical VAT by country, product class, and supply date; calculate exact tax amounts; store audit-ready transaction evidence; monitor OSS thresholds; and prepare OSS/IOSS reports. It combines EU-27 coverage, 37 merchant-friendly tax classes, source profiles, and compliance reporting in one workflow—without spreadsheets or country-by-country plugins. Currently in alpha.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
