Frequently asked questions
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax added to the price of most goods and services. It is collected at each stage of the supply chain and ultimately paid by the end customer.
What is the difference between adding and removing VAT?
Adding VAT starts from a net (pre-tax) price and works out the tax on top, giving you the gross price. Removing VAT starts from a gross (VAT-inclusive) price and works backwards to find the net price and the tax already included.
How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?
Divide the gross price by 1 plus the rate as a decimal. At 20%, divide by 1.2 to get the net price; the difference between the gross and net is the VAT. This calculator does that for you in Remove VAT mode.
What are common VAT rates by country?
Rates vary widely. As a general guide the UK standard rate is 20%, much of the EU sits between 17% and 27%, and many countries use a single GST-style rate such as 15%. Always confirm the current rate that applies to your sale.
