## FAQ

### How do I take VAT out of a gross amount?

Divide the gross amount by 1 plus the rate, e.g. by 1.19 for 19%. 119 becomes 100 net and 19 VAT. Simply subtracting 19% from the gross gives a net amount that is too small.

### Which rates are included?

Standard and reduced rates for Germany (19% and 7%), Austria (20% and 10%) and Switzerland (8.1% and 2.6%).
