How to calculate VAT in the Bahamas
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 10 / 100
gross = net × 1.1
Removing VAT from a gross price
net = gross / 1.1
VAT = gross − net
A common mistake is to take 10% off the gross price. That gives the wrong figure: the VAT inside a gross price is only 9.09% of it.
