How to calculate VAT in Nepal
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 13 / 100
Gross = net × 1.13
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.13
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 13% it is 11.50%. That is why you divide by 1.13 rather than subtracting 13%.
