Does the amount include VAT? No — add VAT to the net amount Yes — extract VAT from the gross amount

Which VAT rate applies?

Standard rate — 20% Reduced rate — 5% Zero rate — 0%

Does special VAT treatment or rate uncertainty apply?

Choose yes for exempt or outside-scope items, reverse charge, Flat Rate Scheme, margin schemes, partial exemption, imports/exports or mixed supplies.

No Yes or not sure

Your amount is used only for this calculation. It is not added to a lead record or analytics event.

What this calculator includes and excludes

It performs transaction arithmetic at 20%, 5% or 0%. Zero-rated supplies remain taxable and are not the same as exempt supplies.

It does not decide the correct liability, calculate a VAT return, test registration, estimate Flat Rate Scheme payments, recover input tax or handle special schemes and reverse charges.
