How do I add VAT to a price in Ireland?
To go from a net price (the price before VAT, also called the price excluding VAT) to a gross price (the price including VAT), multiply the net amount by the VAT rate and add the result to the net amount. For example, at the standard 23% rate: €100.00 before VAT × 1.23 = €123.00 including VAT. The formula is Gross = Net × (1 + VAT rate). Use "Add VAT" mode above and enter your net amount (excluding VAT) to calculate this instantly for any Irish rate.
How do I remove VAT from a price in Ireland?
To go from a gross price (the price including VAT) back to the net price (the price before VAT, also called the price excluding VAT), divide the gross amount by 1 plus the VAT rate. For example, at the standard 23% rate: €123.00 including VAT ÷ 1.23 = €100.00 excluding VAT. The formula is Net = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT rate). Use "Remove VAT" mode above and enter your gross amount (including VAT) to calculate this instantly for any Irish rate.
