International Tracked Rates to European Union 2014-2020

The rates listed here applied to the International Tracked service (but not the other two International Confirmed services) when used to some destinations in the European Union.

From 2014, as a result of an ECJ decision, the International Tracked service when used to destinations in European Union member countries became subject to VAT at 20% on the total rate paid. These rates applied until the end of the Brexit transition period on 31st December 2020.

("Signed" and "Tracked and Signed" services were not liable to VAT, and the rates to EU countries for those were the same as for other European countries.)

The rates below are total rates including postage. Like the underlying International Standard service, different rates applied for payment by stamps and franking machines. The service could not be used with online payments before 2018, but then was allowed via the "Click & Drop" service.

See the introduction for the details of what each service covers.
