What to confirm before calculating VAT

Check whether the amount is a total, a supply amount, or a tax amount before using the calculator.

ガイド

A total amount is not the same as a supply amount

A total amount includes both the supply amount and VAT, so the starting number must be clear before calculation begins.

If you mix up gross and supply values, the result changes immediately even when the tax rate stays the same.

ガイド

Confirm tax treatment first

The usual VAT rate may be 10 percent, but exempt or zero-rated transactions need different handling.

The same type of transaction can also be treated differently depending on business type and invoicing rules.

ガイド

Rounding rules can change the result

VAT amounts can differ by a small margin depending on whether amounts are rounded or truncated.

It is safer to match your trading partner or accounting standard before finalizing a value.
