Some countries are not considered EU territories, but are considered EU with regards to VAT. Include VAT values for those (Northern Ireland and Monaco).

See the following sources for a full list of territorial exceptions and how to handle them:

I think it makes sense to copy the values including history from the parent countries into separate entries. It can then be up to the application whether to query the parent country (FR in case of MC, IE in case of XI) or to query these rates directly.

For Monaco, VAT rates should be regarded as if the goods or services were supplied to France. For Northern Ireland this is similar for goods, but not for services. However, I think that's also up to the application to consider, not this raw list of rates.

@SanderVanLeeuwen Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm having a very crazy week at work and this is not really on my radar since we have no practical need for it, but I hope to take a look at it over the next few weeks.

we have no practical need for it

Well, we "solved" it back in January by deciding not to ship to Monaco. But in case we would want to, I do think it makes sense to have a 1:1 mapping from country -> VAT code, instead of adding business logic to define the "parent" country to fetch the VAT rate from.
