How to calculate VAT in the Gambia
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 15 / 100
gross = net × 1.15
Removing VAT from a gross price
net = gross / 1.15
VAT = gross − net
A common mistake is to take 15% off the gross price. That gives the wrong figure: the VAT inside a gross price is only 13.04% of it.
