How it works
Start from a tax-inclusive total, choose the rate and let the calculator split the result into net base and VAT value. This is especially useful for checking supplier quotes and incoming invoices.
Example use case
If a supplier has quoted an all-in amount, you can verify the untaxed base before posting the expense or comparing offers.
