How to calculate VAT in Philippines
Adding VAT to a net price
VAT = net × 12 / 100
Gross = net × 1.12
Removing VAT from a gross price
Net = gross / 1.12
VAT = gross − net
Do not subtract 12% from the total to find the net price — divide by 1.12 instead. Subtracting the percentage removes too much, because VAT is only 10.71% of the gross amount.
