How to calculate VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax on consumption. In most European countries, the standard rate is between 17% and 27%. The formulas are: Gross = Net × (1 + rate) and Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate). VAT amount = Gross − Net = Net × rate.

VAT rates in France

France applies four rates: standard 20% (most goods and services), intermediate 10% (restaurants, transport, energy renovation), reduced 5.5% (food, books, disability equipment) and super-reduced 2.1% (reimbursable medicines, press).

Deductible and non-deductible VAT

VAT-registered businesses can reclaim VAT paid on professional purchases (input VAT). Private individuals and certain exempt activities (doctors, banks, associations) cannot reclaim VAT. In accounting, the net price is the working basis for businesses, while the gross price is what the end consumer pays.
