How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the normal VAT, GST, sales-tax or comparable broad consumption-tax rate on ordinary taxable domestic purchases. It is displayed as a percentage. Lower percentages receive higher scores.

Nomadino first uses the public PwC overview of standard VAT and VAT-like rates. For EU countries, European Commission and OECD consumption-tax data are used as plausibility context. Countries with federal or regional sales taxes use a maintained combined average value.

Included is the broad standard rate that normally appears in the checkout price or invoice for ordinary taxable purchases. Where a source lists several rate bands, Nomadino does not automatically use the first reduced rate, but the broadest normal standard rate. In systems such as Canada or the United States, federal, provincial, state and local components are combined as an approximate national value so the federal component alone does not understate the rate.

Excluded are reduced rates, zero rates, exemptions, special regimes for individual goods, luxury taxes, alcohol, tobacco and fuel excises, customs duties, tourism taxes, standalone digital-service taxes and filing-administration burden. These factors can matter, but they would make the raw value less direct.

Countries without a broad VAT, GST, sales tax or comparable general consumption tax are set to 0%. For small territories or countries without separate coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values from national tax information, administering states and regional comparators.

The score is calculated directly and proportionally from the visible percentage: 0% receives 100 points, while 30% or more receives 5 points. Between those anchors the score declines linearly and is rounded to whole points. This prevents a lower raw value from receiving a worse score than a higher raw value.
