About VAT Calculation
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax that is levied on the value added to goods and services. It's collected at each stage of production and distribution where value is added.
VAT vs Sales Tax
Unlike sales tax (used in the US), VAT is collected throughout the supply chain rather than just at the final point of sale. This makes VAT more efficient to collect and harder to evade.
Calculation Formulas
• Add VAT: Gross = Net × (1 + VAT%/100)
• Remove VAT: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT%/100)
• VAT Amount: Gross - Net
