VAT

How are VAT inclusive and exclusive amounts found?

1 min read

A VAT-inclusive amount is the net times (1 + rate/100). An amount typed as inclusive comes back to net with the same rate, using the food page identity.

Formula

Inclusive: net = amount / (1 + rate/100). Exclusive: gross = amount × (1 + rate/100).

The rate and the amount come from you. No tariff is locked in the code.

Representative example: shelf item

  1. Shelf item 120.00 TRY VAT inclusive, rate 20%.
  2. Net 100.00 TRY. VAT 20.00 TRY.
  3. Exclusive 100.00 TRY at the same rate becomes 120.00 TRY inclusive.
  4. There is no tax return and no e-invoice.

Common mistakes

  • Pasting someone else’s tariff in place of the numbers you type.
  • Reading a typed rate as an official tariff. The page says the amount was entered by hand.

Questions

Does this connect to a shop?

No. Orders, listings and tariffs are not imported. Downloading a file stays optional.
