Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate VAT on a price?
VAT = Net Price × VAT Rate. UK standard rate (20%): £100 net + £20 VAT = £120 gross. Germany (19%): €100 + €19 = €119. France (20%): €100 + €20 = €120. The calculator handles any VAT rate.
How do I remove VAT from a gross price?
Net Price = Gross Price ÷ (1 + VAT Rate). UK 20% VAT: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 net. VAT amount = £120 - £100 = £20. The calculator extracts VAT from inclusive prices for accounting and invoicing.
What are the VAT rates in European countries?
UK: 20% (5% reduced). Germany: 19% (7% reduced). France: 20% (5.5% reduced). Italy: 22%. Spain: 21%. Netherlands: 21%. Sweden: 25%. Poland: 23%. Ireland: 23%. The calculator supports all EU VAT rates.
What is the difference between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive pricing?
VAT-inclusive (gross): the displayed price includes VAT. Common in B2C retail. VAT-exclusive (net): VAT is added at checkout. Common in B2B. UK law requires B2C prices to include VAT. The calculator converts between both.
How do I calculate VAT for cross-border EU sales?
Since July 2021, the EU One-Stop Shop (OSS) applies. B2C sales over €10,000/year to other EU countries use the destination country's VAT rate. Below threshold, use your home country rate. The calculator helps determine the correct rate.
