Calculation methodology

The calculator adds or extracts the 20% standard VAT rate. It unlocks 10% only after confirmation of an exact butane tariff line listed by Article 06.01.12, and 0% only after confirmation of evidence for an export of goods or services. It does not infer exemptions, out-of-scope treatment or registration status.

Known limitations

  • Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
  • The 10% path is limited to tariff lines 2711.13 00 and 7311.00 00 and requires retained classification evidence.
  • The 0% path requires retained transaction evidence for an export of goods or services.
  • Exemptions and operations outside the scope are not modeled or inferred.
  • Confirm filing, registration, and remittance duties with the official authority or a qualified adviser before submission.

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.
