[Update] VAT Calculator | vat 9% – NATAVIGUIDES

This VAT calculator estimates the value added tax from a specific money amount using a country’s specific VAT rate OR can exclude it from a given amount. There is in depth information on this topic below the form.

What is VAT?

VAT is the abbreviation from Value Added Tax which is a consumption tax of up to 25% applied on both goods and services in a lot of countries around the world. The percentage is subject to each country national tax systems.

A refund of this tax to worldwide non-resident business entities is often allowed by national tax systems of Europe, Australia and others. Pay attention that in order to get some refunds, you may be requested to register for this rate, prior to some transactions that are not travel or entertainment expenses.

How to calculate VAT?

This VAT calculator allows making two kinds of calculations:

• First is adding value added tax to a specific net amount:
  Adding formula requires you to multiply the net amount by 1 + VAT percent. For instance multiply by 1.20 if the rate is 20% and you will get the gross amount. In order to get directly the tax value you should multiply the initial amount by the given value added rate %.
• Second is excluding value added tax from a specific gross amount:
  Excluding formula requires you to perform few steps:  when the gross amount is given you should divide that value by 1 + VAT percentage in order to get the net amount. Once the net value is calculated, you should subtract it from the gross value to get the value added tax absolute amount. For example if rate is 20% you should divide the gross by 1.20, then the value that results should be subtracted from the gross figure.

It is important to know that the form allows editing the percent no matter of the chosen state.

How VAT works?

A simple UK VAT calculation on how this works is presented below with the money flow:

Let’s assume that a UK company called “Company 1” purchases and sells product X from and to other UK companies. The calculation that is presented further on is a description on how the VAT tax works for the Company 1:

Example 1:

Purchase product X from a UK vendor named Company 3:

Product X: £ 1,000.00

20% VAT: £ 200.00      

Total paid to the Company 3: £ 1,200.00

Example 2:

Sale to a UK customer named Customer 2/Company 2:

Product X: £ 1,400.00

20% VAT: £ 280.00

Total collected from the Customer 2/Company 2: £ 1,680.00

Notes:

– In case of the Example 1, the VAT is not a cost for the Company 1.
– In case of the Example 2, the Customer 2/Company 2 can deduct the VAT if they are a company, registered for value added tax, which means that their effective cost was £ 1,400.00.

Example 3 – based on Example 1 and Example 2:

VAT Return filed to the UK Tax Authorities – the Company 1 reports to the UK tax authorities:

VAT collected from the Customer 2/Company 2: £ 280.00

Minus VAT paid to Company 3: £ 200.00

VAT due to UK tax authorities: £ 80.00

Example 4 – Company 1 margin calculation based on the above examples:

Revenue from Customer 2/Company 2 (excluding VAT): £ 1,400.00

Less paid to vendor Company 3 (excluding VAT): £ 1,000.00

Margin: £ 400.00

The main conclusion that rises is the Company’s 1 Profit & Loss is not affected by the value added tax calculation and deduction.
