Understanding VAT

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on a product or service whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. Most countries have a VAT system, and it's a significant source of revenue for governments worldwide.

How VAT Works

Businesses charge VAT on their sales (output VAT) and can reclaim VAT on their purchases (input VAT). The difference is then paid to the tax authorities. For consumers, VAT is the final price paid for goods and services, which includes the tax levied at each stage.

Calculating VAT

There are two main scenarios when calculating VAT:

  • Calculating VAT amount and total price when you know the net price and VAT rate:

    • VAT Amount = Net Price × (VAT Rate / 100)

    Total Price = Net Price + VAT Amount

    Alternatively, Total Price = Net Price × (1 + (VAT Rate / 100))

  • Calculating the net price when you know the gross price (including VAT) and the VAT rate:

    • Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + (VAT Rate / 100))

    VAT Amount = Gross Price – Net Price

This calculator helps you determine the VAT amount and the total price (gross price) when you input the net amount and the VAT rate.

Example Usage:

Let's say you are a business selling a product for £100 (net price) and your country's standard VAT rate is 20%.

  • Using the formula:

    • VAT Amount = £100 × (20 / 100) = £20

    Total Price = £100 + £20 = £120

    So, you would charge your customer £120.
