How we calculate

From net: VAT = net × rate, gross = net + VAT. From gross: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate), VAT = gross − net. Amounts are rounded to cents per line.

The rates come from the European Commission’s VAT rates overview and the national tax authorities; each country shows the source and the date the rate applies from. Which rate applies to a product or service is set by national law.
