How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the price before VAT by the rate. At 15%, the VAT on 1,000.00 is 150.00, so the total is 1,150.00.
How do I take VAT out of a total?
Divide the total by one plus the rate. At 15%, a total of 1,150.00 is 1,150.00 ÷ 1.15 = 1,000.00 before VAT, so the VAT is 150.00. Taking 15% of the total would give 172.50, which is wrong.
Where do the rates come from?
From the tax rules Zivobooks publishes for each country, each with the date it took effect and the tax authority’s source. Whether a sale is zero-rated or exempt depends on what you sell, so check with your tax authority.
