How to calculate VAT in Madagascar
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 20 / 100
Gross = net × 1.2
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.2
VAT = gross − net
Do not subtract 20% from the total to find the net price — divide by 1.2 instead. Subtracting the percentage removes too much, because VAT is only 16.67% of the gross amount.
