How the formula works
To add VAT, multiply the net price by 1 plus the VAT rate. To remove VAT, divide the gross price by 1 plus the VAT rate.
Example
At 20% VAT, a net price of 100 becomes 120. A gross price of 120 divided by 1.2 returns a net price of 100 and a VAT amount of 20.
Common mistake
Removing 20% VAT is not the same as taking 20% off the gross price. VAT is calculated from the net price, so reverse VAT uses division.
