How to calculate VAT in Luxembourg
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 17 / 100
Gross = net × 1.17
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.17
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 17% it is 14.53%. That is why you divide by 1.17 rather than subtracting 17%.
