Frequently asked questions
How do I remove VAT?
Divide the gross price by (1 + rate). At 20%, 120 ÷ 1.2 = 100, so the VAT is 20. Taking 20% off 120 would be wrong.
Do all products use the standard rate?
No. Many countries have reduced or zero rates for some goods. The presets show standard rates only.
What are common VAT rates?
Examples include 20% in the UK, 5% in the UAE, 15% in Saudi Arabia, and between about 17% and 27% across EU countries. Rates change, so confirm the current rate with your tax authority.
How do I calculate VAT backwards?
Divide the VAT-inclusive price by (1 + rate) to get the net price, then subtract it from the gross. At 20%, a gross price of 120 has a net of 100 and VAT of 20.
