How to calculate VAT in Denmark
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 25 / 100
Gross = net × 1.25
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.25
VAT = gross − net
A common mistake is to take 25% off the gross price. That gives the wrong figure: the VAT inside a gross price is only 20.00% of it.
