Understanding TVA in France.
The standard Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée (TVA) VAT rate in France is 20%. This calculator isolates the net value and TVA amount from any gross purchase total using standard international calculation guidelines.
How to Back Out VAT/GST in France
To calculate the pre-tax net cost (base amount) from a gross total that includes a standard 20% TVA, apply the reverse VAT calculation formula:
Net Price = Gross Amount / (1 + (20 / 100))
Which simplifies to dividing the total by 1.20.
For example: If you paid a total of €120.00 inclusive of 20% VAT:
- Divide the gross amount:
€120.00 / 1.20 = €100.00(Net Price). - Subtract the net amount from total paid to extract the tax portion:
€120.00 - €100.00 = €20.00(Extracted tax).
