How is VAT removed from a gross amount?
The net amount is calculated by dividing the gross amount by (1 + VAT rate). The VAT amount is the difference between gross and net.
Can I use any VAT rate?
Yes, enter any valid percentage. Different countries use different standard and reduced rates.
Is this the same as sales tax?
