When must I register for VAT?
Registration is mandatory once taxable turnover exceeds €15.600 in any 12-month period; below that it's voluntary. The standard VAT rate is 19%. If you provide services to clients in other EU countries, you generally need VAT and VIES registration even with low turnover.
