How Reverse VAT Works
To remove VAT from a price, divide the gross amount by (1 + VAT rate / 100).
Example
What is a Reverse VAT Calculation?
A reverse VAT calculation (also known as "removing VAT" or "backing out VAT") allows you to find the net price of a product when you only know the VAT-inclusive gross price. This is useful for businesses reclaiming VAT, accountants preparing tax returns, or anyone who needs to know how much tax is included in a price.
Reverse VAT Formula
Net Amount = Gross Amount ÷ (1 + VAT Rate / 100)
VAT Amount = Gross Amount − Net Amount
For UK VAT at 20%: Net = Gross ÷ 1.20. For EU standard rates, just change the divisor accordingly (e.g., Germany 19% = ÷ 1.19, France 20% = ÷ 1.20).
