Calculation methodology

The calculator adds or extracts the Article 8 standard rate. Zero-rating is available only after the user confirms an exact Schedule 1 match and acceptable Article 9 documentary evidence. Exempt supplies, registration, withholding, filing and transaction classification are not inferred.

Known limitations

  • Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
  • Schedule 1 zero-rating requires an exact supply match and acceptable documentary proof.
  • Schedule 2 exemptions are not modeled as zero-rated transactions.
  • Confirm classification, evidence, registration, invoicing, filing and payment duties with the Ministry of Revenue or a qualified adviser.

Test-case examples

Input: Net amount: 1,000 at the displayed standard VAT rate.
Expected: VAT equals 1,000 multiplied by the displayed rate; total equals net amount plus VAT.
Why: Confirms the core VAT-exclusive calculation path and makes the rate dependency auditable.

Input: VAT-inclusive amount with the displayed standard VAT rate.
Expected: Net amount equals total divided by 1 plus the rate; VAT equals total minus net amount.
Why: Confirms reverse VAT handling for invoices that already include tax.

Change history
