eu-vat

Reference documentation for EU VAT rates retrieval: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-services/online-services-and-databases-taxation/tedb-taxes-europe-database_en Unfortunately, it is an old SOAP web service. This module simplifies the retrieval of the latest rates, in a simpler way.

Example of use of the module:

const getEuVat = require("@enova/eu-vat");

async function test() {
  const vat = await getEuVat(
    "./iva.xml"
  );
  console.log(vat);
}
test();
