How to calculate VAT in Algeria
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 19 / 100
Gross = net × 1.19
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.19
VAT = gross − net
A common mistake is to take 19% off the gross price. That gives the wrong figure: the VAT inside a gross price is only 15.97% of it.
