How to do Germany Vat Calculation?

Adding VAT in Germany

German Vat calculation can be done as is follow:


                                        Gross = Amount / 100 * (100 + VAT Rate)

Step 1:

The standard Germany vat rate is 19%.

Step 2:

Divide the Amount by 100 and then multiply by the (100 + VAT rate); the result will be the gross amount, including the German VAT.

Step 3:

Now, the total vat rate can be calculated from gross amount as follow
Total VAT = Gross - Price

Example of VAT Addition

Let suppose you buy a smart TV on €195 and the german standard vat rate is 19%, then the total cost including the vat would be:


                                            Amount = €195

                                            VAT Rate = 19% 

                                            Gross Amount = Amount / 100 * (100 + VAT rate) 


                                            Gross Amount = 195/100 * (100 + 19) 

                                            Gross Amount = €232.05


                                            Now,  

                                            Total VAT = Gross Amount - Amount 

                                            Total VAT = €232.05 - €195

                                            Total VAT = €37.05

Therefore, the total price, including VAT (gross price) for the smart TV is €232.05.

Removing VAT in Germany

To find out the price without vat, use the following formula


                                        Net = (Amount / (100 + VAT Rate)) * 100

Step 1:

Germany vat rate is 19%.

Step 2:

Divide the Amount by the (100 + VAT rate) and then multiply by 100; the result will give you a net amount that doesn’t include any VAT.

Step 3:

Calculate the total vat as is follow:
Total VAT = Amount - Net

Example of Germany Vat Removal

Let's consider you sell a smart TV for €266 and need to remove VAT from the selling price. With German standard vat rate i.e. 19%, the selling price excluding VAT would be:


                                            Amount = €266 

                                            VAT Rate = 19% 

                                            Net Amount = Amount/(100 + VAT Rate)* 100 


                                            Net Amount = 266/(100 + 19)* 100 

                                            Net Amount = €223.53


                                            Now,  

                                            Total VAT = Amount - Net Amount 

                                            Total VAT = €266 - €223.52 

                                            Total VAT = €42.47

So, the selling price of smart TV excluding VAT would be approximately €223.53.
