Tips & Best Practices

Adding vs Removing Tax

Adding 20% VAT to a $100 net price gives a $120 gross price. Removing 20% VAT from a $120 gross price gives $100 net, not $96. This difference is a common source of invoicing mistakes.

Use add-tax mode when pricing from a pre-tax amount, and remove-tax mode when a receipt or customer-facing price already includes tax. Always confirm the tax rate for your country, state, or product category.
