How to add VAT to a net price
Multiply the net price by the VAT rate to find the tax, then add it to the net amount.
VAT = Net × (Rate ÷ 100)
Gross = Net + VAT
Example: €100 plus 23% VAT gives €23 VAT and a €123 gross price.
How to remove VAT from a gross price
Dividing by the VAT factor removes VAT correctly. Subtracting the percentage directly gives the wrong answer.
Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100)
VAT = Gross − Net
Example: €123 including 23% VAT contains €23 VAT and has a €100 net price.
