Common questions
Answers about this tool
- How do I add VAT to a price?
- For a standard-rated supply, multiply the VAT-exclusive price by 16% to get VAT, then add VAT to the price. Use the zero rate only for qualifying zero-rated supplies; exempt supplies are treated differently.
- How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?
- At 16%, divide the VAT-inclusive total by 1.16 to get the price before VAT. The difference between the total and that price is the VAT amount.
