How to calculate VAT in Hungary
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 27 / 100
gross = net × 1.27
Removing VAT from a gross price
net = gross / 1.27
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 27% it is 21.26%. That is why you divide by 1.27 rather than subtracting 27%.
