## What it is
A PHP library for calculating EU VAT rates and handling MOSS tax regulations, with optional Laravel and Cashier integration. It supports gross price calculation by country and postal code, company/business handling, and VAT number validation.

## Use cases
- calculate EU VAT for a price by country code
- validate a VAT number format
- handle EU MOSS tax regulations in billing
- compute gross price from net price with postal code rules
- integrate VAT calculation into Laravel Cashier subscriptions
- use VAT rates in a standalone PHP application

## When to choose
- you sell digital goods or services in the EU and need VAT rates per country
- you use Laravel or Cashier and want drop-in VAT support
- you need VAT number validation in a PHP app

## When to avoid
- you need full tax compliance beyond EU VAT (e.g., US sales tax)
- you need guaranteed legally correct tax calculations without accountant review
- your stack is not PHP

- maturity: active
- function: sdk, developer-tools
