VAT Act boundaries for 15% VAT and exact Schedule treatments

Calculation methodology

The calculator adds 15% to a net amount or extracts it from a VAT-inclusive amount. A zero-rated result requires confirmation of an exact Fifth Schedule supply; an exempt result requires confirmation of an exact First Schedule item. Tourist services are not inferred as a generic zero-rate.

Known limitations

  • Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
  • Product classification, exemption, and zero-rating rules can require invoice-level review.
  • Sector-specific, regional, treaty, relief, and special-regime rules may not be fully modeled.
  • 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.

Change history

  • 2026-07-22: Rebuilt all launched language routes around current MRA and VAT Act evidence; special treatments now fail closed and tourist services are no longer treated as a generic zero-rate.
