Frequently Asked Questions

What is VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services in many countries, particularly in Europe. The UK standard rate is 20%, the EU average is around 21%, and rates vary by country and product category.

How do I reverse-calculate VAT?

To remove VAT from a gross price, divide the inclusive price by (1 + VAT rate). For a £120 price with 20% VAT: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 (net price), and VAT = £20.

Do all goods have the same VAT rate?

No — many countries apply reduced or zero rates to essential goods like food, children's clothing and books. Always check the applicable rate for your specific product or service.

Can I use this for EU VAT calculations?

Yes — just enter the applicable EU country VAT rate for your transaction. Rates range from 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary).
