How to calculate Ireland VAT manually

Standard VAT rate (23%) is very easy to calculate. All you need to do is multiply VAT exclusive amount by 0.23.

VAT exclusive value: €100

VAT amount: €100 * 0.23 = €23

To get VAT inclusive amount multiply VAT exclusive value by 1.23

VAT exclusive value: €10

VAT inclusive amount: €10 * 1.23 = €12.3

Divide VAT inclusive amount by 123 and multiply by 23 to get VAT part of VAT inclusive amount

VAT inclusive value: €24.6

VAT value: €24.6 / 123 * 23 = €4.6

Divide VAT inclusive price by 123 ant then multiply result by 100 to get VAT exclusive amount while knowing VAT inclusive value

VAT inclusive value: €246

VAT value: €246 / 123 * 100  = €200
