How to calculate VAT in Colombia
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
Do not subtract 19% from the total to find the net price — divide by 1.19 instead. Subtracting the percentage removes too much, because VAT is only 15.97% of the gross amount.
