Net vs VAT
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Net price | $100.00 |
| VAT | $20.00 |
What this means
Adding VAT multiplies the net price by (1 + rate), so the tax amount is net × rate. Removing VAT is the reverse: divide the gross total by (1 + rate) to find the net, and the difference is the VAT embedded in the price. The subtle part is that VAT as a percentage of the gross total is lower than the headline rate — e.g. 20% VAT is only 16.7% of the gross price. Businesses reclaim input VAT, so separating net from tax is what matters for invoicing and bookkeeping.
Recommendations
- Quote prices clearly as net or inclusive of VAT to avoid invoice disputes.
- If you're VAT-registered, track input and output VAT separately for your return.
- Use the 'Remove' mode when a receipt shows a total and you need the taxable amount.
Watch out
- VAT rules vary by country — rates, thresholds and exemptions differ widely.
