How do you calculate VAT?

To add VAT: VAT Amount = Net Price × VAT Rate / 100. Gross Price = Net Price + VAT Amount. To remove VAT: Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + VAT Rate / 100).

What is the difference between net and gross price?

Net price is the amount before VAT is applied. Gross price is the total amount including VAT.

Common VAT rates vary by country: 20% (UK), 19% (Germany), 21% (Netherlands, Spain), 5-28% (India GST), 10% (Australia GST). Some items may have reduced or zero rates.

What is VAT?
