Calculation methodology

The calculator adds or extracts 18% standard VAT and rounds XOF results to the nearest whole unit. The 10% path remains locked unless the user confirms that the exact supply is an accommodation or restaurant service supplied by an approved tourist accommodation establishment and that Article 369 evidence is retained. Invoice mode applies the same engine per line.

Known limitations

Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
Only 18% standard VAT and the evidence-gated Article 369 tourist accommodation service treatment at 10% are modeled.
Exports, exemptions, exclusions, deductions, registration, thresholds, filing, withholding and other special regimes are not classified or inferred.
Confirm filing, registration, and remittance duties with the official authority or a qualified adviser before submission.

Test-case examples

Input: Net amount: 10,000 XOF at the standard rate.
Expected: VAT is 1,800 XOF and gross total is 11,800 XOF.
Why: Confirms the Article 369 standard-rate calculation and whole-XOF rounding.

Input: Net amount: 10,000 XOF at 10%, without the exact approval and service evidence confirmation.
Expected: Calculation is blocked; no reduced-rate result is shown.
Why: Prevents a broad tourism or restaurant label from silently receiving the reduced rate.

Input: Net amount: 10,000 XOF at 10%, with the exact Article 369 approved tourist accommodation establishment service evidence confirmed.
Expected: VAT is 1,000 XOF and gross total is 11,000 XOF.
Why: Confirms the narrow evidence-gated reduced-rate path.
