VAT Amount = Net Amount × VAT Rate
Gross Amount = Net Amount + VAT Amount
Net Amount (from Gross) = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT Rate)
Net price $80, VAT 20%. VAT = $80 × 0.20 = $16. Gross = $80 + $16 = $96.
Gross price $1,200, VAT 15%. Net = $1,200 ÷ 1.15 = $1,043.48. VAT = $156.52.
Gross price $59, VAT 20%. Net = $59 ÷ 1.20 = $49.17. VAT = $9.83.
Net price $500, VAT 0%. VAT = $0. Gross = $500. Use VAT 0% for zero-rated exports.
Reverse VAT (remove VAT) is used when prices are VAT-inclusive and you need the net value for accounting or reporting. Use this formula:
Net = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT Rate)
VAT = Gross − Net
| Scenario | Meaning | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| VAT Inclusive | Price already contains VAT | Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate) |
| VAT Exclusive | VAT is added on top of price | Gross = Net × (1 + Rate) |
