Frequently asked questions

Why can I not just subtract 20 % to remove 20 % VAT?

VAT is a share of the net amount, not of the gross. 120 includes 20 % VAT on 100, so the net is 120 × 100 ÷ 120 = 100, not 96.

Does it work for sales tax?

For any tax added as a percentage of the price, yes. Enter the combined rate where several taxes apply.
