How to calculate VAT in Kazakhstan
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 16 / 100
Gross = net × 1.16
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.16
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 16% it is 13.79%. That is why you divide by 1.16 rather than subtracting 16%.
