How to use this calculator

Enter output VAT, deductible VAT, VAT adjustment, and previous VAT credit. The calculator estimates VAT due or refundable balance after deduction.

What the result means

Positive VAT due means estimated payable. Negative VAT due indicates a possible refund or credit balance.

VAT Due = Output VAT − Deductible VAT + Adjustment − Previous VAT Credit

VAT rules vary. Some purchases may not be deductible and some sales may be exempt or zero-rated.

Example calculation

With $5,000 output VAT, $3,000 deductible VAT, $200 adjustment, and $500 previous credit, VAT due is $1,700.

Tips for better results

  • Use positive adjustment for added VAT due.
  • Use previous credit only if it can be carried forward.
  • Keep exempt sales separate from taxable sales.

FAQ

What does after deduction mean?

After deduction means the original amount has been reduced by eligible deductions before calculating the VAT result.

Can deductions be larger than the original amount?

For planning, the calculator normally limits taxable or remaining amounts at zero where negative results would not be practical.

Is this calculator tax advice?

No. It is a simplified estimate for planning. Actual rules depend on your tax system, records, and filing situation.

Why use an effective rate?

An effective rate shows the result as a percentage of the original amount, making different scenarios easier to compare.

How should I interpret the result?

Use the main result for a quick estimate and review the supporting stats to understand savings, burden, or remaining exposure.
