How to calculate VAT in Nigeria
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 7.5 / 100
Gross = net × 1.075
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.075
VAT = gross − net
Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 7.5% it is 6.98%. That is why you divide by 1.075 rather than subtracting 7.5%.
