How to calculate VAT in Chad
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 18 / 100
Gross = net × 1.18
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.18
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 18% it is 15.25%. That is why you divide by 1.18 rather than subtracting 18%.
