What is VAT?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax levied on goods and services. It is collected at every stage of the supply chain where value is added. Ultimately, the end consumer pays the tax.
Adding VAT (Forward Calculation)
To add tax to a net price:
Formula: Total = Net Price + (Net Price × Rate / 100)
Example: ₹100 + 5% VAT = ₹105.
Removing VAT (Reverse Calculation)
To find the original price from a total (MRP):
Formula: Net Price = Total / (1 + Rate / 100)
Example: Total is ₹105, Tax is 5%. Net = 105 / 1.05 = ₹100.
