Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract VAT from a gross, tax-inclusive price? ▼
To extract VAT from a gross price, divide the gross amount by (1 + VAT rate as a decimal). The difference between the gross amount and this calculated net base equals the exact VAT portion.
Are VAT rates uniform across all European countries? ▼
No. While the EU sets general minimum rate rules, each individual country establishes its own standard and reduced VAT rates (e.g., 19% in Germany, 20% in France, 21% in Spain). Our tools allow custom percentage inputs for any jurisdiction.
