⚠️ Limitations:
VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax charged by the government on goods or services. The seller collects it and remits it to the government. More than 170 countries operate a VAT system.
The amount you enter is the pre-tax base. Example: Base = 1000, Rate = 15% → Tax = 150, Total = 1150.
The amount you enter already includes tax. Example: Total = 1150, Rate = 15% → Base = 1000, Tax = 150.
Effective Rate = (Tax ÷ Total) × 100 — the share of the final price that is tax.
