How to calculate VAT in Argentina
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 21 / 100
Gross = net × 1.21
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.21
VAT = gross − net
Do not subtract 21% from the total to find the net price — divide by 1.21 instead. Subtracting the percentage removes too much, because VAT is only 17.36% of the gross amount.
