What Is VAT Exclusive (Removing VAT)?
Removing VAT means extracting the tax from a VAT-inclusive price to find the tax-free amount (the base). It is commonly used in invoicing and pricing.
How is it calculated?
How Is VAT Removed?
Base = VAT-inclusive price ÷ (1 + rate)
VAT = inclusive price − base
- Enter the VAT-inclusive amount and the VAT rate.
- For %20, divide the amount by 1.20.
For example, 1,200 $ (%20 inclusive): 1,200 ÷ 1.20 = 1,000 $ base, 200 $ VAT.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I multiply the VAT-inclusive price directly by 0.20?
No; the tax is a percentage of the base, not of the inclusive price. Removing it requires division.
