How to calculate VAT in Italy
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 22 / 100
Gross = net × 1.22
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.22
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 22% it is 18.03%. That is why you divide by 1.22 rather than subtracting 22%.
