How the math works
Add VAT (forward): gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100)
Extract VAT (reverse): net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
Worked example at Malta's standard rate: net 100 × (1 + 18 ÷ 100) = 118.00 gross, of which 18.00 is VAT.
Issuing a VAT-compliant invoice?

The full rate dataset behind this page (42 jurisdictions, source per row) is downloadable: CSV · JSON (CC BY 4.0).
