Question 1

How do I add VAT to a price?

Multiply the net (ex-VAT) price by the VAT rate and add it to the original. For example, £100 at 20% VAT: £100 × 0.20 = £20 VAT, giving a gross total of £120.

Divide the gross (VAT-inclusive) price by (1 + VAT rate). For 20% VAT: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 net. Use the Remove VAT mode and enter the gross amount.
