Value Added Tax (VAT)

VAT is a consumption tax added at each stage of production and sale. It is common in the European Union, UK, Canada (as GST/HST), and many other countries. Enter any two of VAT rate, net price, gross price, and tax amount to solve for the rest.

Net vs Gross Pricing

Net price excludes VAT; gross price includes VAT. When a receipt shows only the VAT-inclusive total, use this tool to back out the tax component rather than applying the rate twice.

Standard vs Reduced Rates

Many countries apply reduced VAT on essentials (food, books, medicine) and standard rates on general goods. Always use the rate that applies to your product category.

Business and Invoicing

B2B sellers quote net plus VAT on invoices. Registered businesses may reclaim input VAT on purchases. Verify registration rules with your tax authority.

Travel and Imports

VAT refunds may apply to tourist purchases in some countries. Imported goods may face VAT or duties at customs in addition to exchange considerations. Pair with our Currency Calculator.
