Important considerations
Review exemptions, reduced-rate annexes, special cases and applicability dates. The consolidated law was readable; the separate section URL timed out.
Choosing the applicable treatment
Tax treatment can depend on location, transaction date, the goods or services supplied and the tax base. Check effective dates, exceptions and rounding requirements in the relevant guidance. These references are informational; independent professional validation of country rules is not yet complete.
Calculation method
For a single proportional percentage, add tax using net × rate ÷ 100. To extract included tax, divide the total by (1 + rate ÷ 100). This manual method does not determine whether that percentage legally applies.
