Use the right context

Reduced rates, exemptions, place-of-supply rules, and product classification can change the answer. Use the dated API lookup for operational decisions and verify legal effective dates against primary authority when required.

Standard-rate arithmetic example

If a sale has already been confirmed as subject to the 21% standard rate, a net price of 100.00 gives the following amounts. The example uses monetary units with two decimal places; it does not classify the sale or choose its jurisdiction or legally applicable rate.

Net: 100.00
VAT: 21.00
Gross: 121.00
