How to calculate VAT in the Philippines
- To add VAT: price before tax × 1.12 = price including tax. For example, 100.00 × 1.12 = 112.00.
- To remove VAT: price including tax ÷ 1.12 = price before tax. For example, 112.00 ÷ 1.12 = 100.00.
- The tax inside a price that includes it: price including tax × 12 ÷ 112. For 112.00 that is 12.00.
