How to add or remove VAT

  • Add VAT: price before VAT × 1.11 = price including VAT. For example, 250 becomes 277.50.
  • Remove VAT: price including VAT ÷ 1.11 = price before VAT. The difference is the VAT. For example, 555 including VAT is 500 before VAT and 55 VAT.
  • Do not take 11% off a gross price: 11% of 1,110 is 122.10, but the VAT inside it is 110.
