About this page
Worked in whole cents: the tax is rounded to the nearest cent (half a cent goes up) and the other amount is the difference, so the boxes always add up. From a gross amount the tax is gross × rate ÷ (100 + rate); from a typed tax amount the net is worked back and your tax amount stays as typed. Your tax authority may set its own rounding rules for invoices.
Add VAT: gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100). Extract VAT: tax = gross × rate ÷ (100 + rate), and net = gross − tax.
