Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate VAT from a gross total (Reverse VAT)?
To remove VAT from a total price, divide the gross amount by (1 + tax rate / 100). For example, at 20% VAT: £120 / 1.20 = £100 net, meaning the VAT portion is £20.

The tool includes up-to-date rates for all 50 US states, all 27 EU member states (standard and reduced rates), the UK (20%, 5%), Canada (GST/HST by province), Australia (10% GST), and New Zealand (15% GST).
Can I enter custom tax percentages?
Yes. You can select 'Custom Rate' and enter any specific percentage required for municipal or sector taxes.
How are rounding fractions handled?
Calculations follow standard financial half-up currency rounding to two decimal places, matching commercial accounting conventions.

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a multi-stage consumption tax levied at each step of production, while Sales Tax is a single-stage retail tax collected at the final point of consumer purchase.
