Last active September 6, 2016 14:42
vat.py tells you what's the applicable VAT in the country of your choice. I wrote this one because at a previous workplace I had to check VAT in various countries quite often – but not often enough to memorize all.

Make sure your prefix is /usr/local, (you can check it with npm config get prefix).
If not, you can set it with npm config set prefix /usr/local
