Calculating VAT accurately is so important. As you know we love Cloud Accounts packages like Xero.<\/a> The beauty of these systems is they are always up to date and can process your transactions smoothly, assuming no human errors get in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However sometimes you may still need to calculate VAT manually \u2013 whether for a quote or a proforma invoice. You may also want to doublecheck that an invoice (or bill) from your supplier has the correct VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However be careful! Percentages can be confusing. The most common VAT rate at the time of writing this blog is 20%. If the gross price of an item is \u00a3100 then the VAT isn\u2019t \u00a320! The VAT is actually \u00a316.67 because the 20% VAT is calculated on the net amount, which in this case is \u00a383.33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So 20% of \u00a383.33 is \u00a316.67 and to prove this: \u00a383.33 + \u00a316.67 = \u00a3100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the net price was \u00a3100 then the VAT would be \u00a320 and the gross price is \u00a3120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
