How It Works
France applies a standard VAT rate of 20%. To add VAT, the calculator multiplies the net price by 20% and adds it to give the gross price. To remove it, it divides the gross amount by 1.20 to recover the net price and reveal the VAT portion. Reduced rates of 10%, 5.5% and 2.1% apply to items such as restaurant meals, food, books and certain medicines.
