Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add VAT to a price?

Gross price = Net price × (1 + VAT rate ÷ 100). VAT amount = Net price × (VAT rate ÷ 100). A $100 net price at 20% VAT gives $20 tax and a $120 gross total.

How do I remove VAT from a gross price?

Net price = Gross price ÷ (1 + VAT rate ÷ 100). VAT amount = Gross price − Net price. A $120 gross price at 20% VAT gives a $100 net amount and $20 tax.
