What is VAT?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to the sale price of goods and services. It is collected at each stage of the supply chain where value is added. Businesses collect VAT from customers and remit it to the government.

VAT Calculation Formulas
VAT Amount = Net Price x VAT Rate / 100
To add VAT: Gross = Net x (1 + Rate/100). To remove VAT: Net = Gross / (1 + Rate/100). To find VAT: VAT = Gross - Net.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate price excluding VAT?
Divide the VAT-inclusive price by (1 + VAT rate/100). For 20% VAT, divide by 1.20. For 10% VAT, divide by 1.10. Example: $1,200 / 1.20 = $1,000 excluding VAT.
What is the difference between VAT inclusive and exclusive prices?
VAT inclusive (gross) price includes the tax amount in the total. VAT exclusive (net) price is the base price before tax is added. Most retail prices are VAT inclusive.
Can businesses reclaim VAT?
Yes, registered businesses can typically reclaim VAT paid on business purchases (input VAT) against the VAT they collect on sales (output VAT). This is called VAT recovery or input tax credit.
Why are there different VAT rates?
Governments apply reduced VAT rates to essential goods (food, healthcare, education) to make them more affordable, while standard rates apply to most other goods and services.
