Formulas and examples
Add VAT
VAT = base × rate ÷ 100. A base of 100 at 7% gives VAT of 7 and a total of 107.
Remove VAT
Base = total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). An inclusive total of 107 at 7% contains a base of 100 and VAT of 7.
Common questions
Can I remove VAT by subtracting 7% from the total?
No. VAT is a percentage of the pre-tax base. For an inclusive total of 107 at 7%, divide by 1.07 to recover 100 rather than subtracting 7% of 107.
How are rounding differences displayed?
