Formula to calculate VAT on a price without VAT
To calculate the VAT in this case, the following formula should be used:
Practical example of VAT calculation at 15%
That is, if you have a product whose value is GH₵1,080 without VAT and with a 15% VAT rate, the formula would look like this:
The product price must be multiplied by the VAT percentage, and that number divided by 100. In this case, it would give GH₵162. So the VAT amount would be GH₵162.
Another alternative would be to divide 15% by 100, resulting in 0.15, and multiply this by GH₵1,080, resulting in GH₵162 in the same way.
Finally, to add VAT to a price, add the base price of the product, for example, GH₵1,080, plus the calculated VAT of GH₵162, giving a final result of GH₵1,242.
