🔹 What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax added to goods and services at each stage of production and distribution. The end consumer bears the full tax, while businesses can reclaim VAT on their purchases.
🔹 How to Calculate VAT (Add Mode)
VAT Amount = Net Amount × VAT Rate. Gross Amount = Net Amount + VAT Amount. Example: $100 net at 20% VAT = $20 VAT, $120 gross.
🔹 How to Remove VAT (Reverse)
Net Amount = Gross Amount ÷ (1 + VAT Rate). VAT Amount = Gross Amount - Net Amount. Useful for invoices that include tax.
🔹 Common VAT Rates Worldwide
Hungary: 27% (highest), Sweden/Denmark: 25%, Germany: 19%, France: 20%, UK: 20%, Canada (GST/HST): 5-15%, Australia: 10%, India: 5-28% depending on goods.
🔹 Who Needs to Register for VAT?
Businesses exceeding a turnover threshold (e.g., UK: £90,000, EU varies) must register, charge VAT, and file returns. Thresholds vary by country.
🔹 VAT vs Sales Tax
Sales tax is only charged at final sale to consumer. VAT is charged at every production stage, with credits for previous VAT paid. Most countries outside the US use VAT.
