VBA doesn’t offer functions to do that, but the Windows API does. Luckily you can use all those functionality from VBA as well. This page describes how to do it: Time Zones & Daylight Savings Time
Edit: Added Code
For the posterity sake, I’ve added the complete code from Guru Chip’s page, as usable in 32-bit Office VBA. (64-bit modification here)

' This module contains functions related to time zones and GMT times.
' Terms:
' -------------------------
' GMT = Greenwich Mean Time. Many applications use the term
' UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). GMT and UTC are
' interchangable in meaning,
' Local Time = The local "wall clock" time of day, that time that
' you would set a clock to.
' DST = Daylight Savings Time
' Functions In This Module:
' -------------------------
' ConvertLocalToGMT
' Converts a local time to GMT. Optionally adjusts for DST.
' DaylightTime
' Returns a value indicating (1) DST is in effect, (2) DST is
' not in effect, or (3) Windows cannot determine whether DST is
' in effect.
' GetLocalTimeFromGMT
' Converts a GMT Time to a Local Time, optionally adjusting for DST.
' LocalOffsetFromGMT
' Returns the number of hours/minutes between the local time &GMT,
' optionally adjusting for DST.
' SystemTimeToVBTime
' Converts a SYSTEMTIME structure to a valid VB/VBA date.
' LocalOffsetFromGMT
' Returns the number of minutes or hours that are to be added to
' the local time to get GMT. Optionally adjusts for DST.
