Adding 15% VAT

When the amount does not include VAT, the VAT is calculated by multiplying the original amount by 15%.

VAT = Base Amount × 0.15

Total = Base Amount + VAT

Example:
If the base amount is SAR 1,000:

VAT = 1,000 × 0.15 = SAR 150
Total = 1,000 + 150 = SAR 1,150

Extracting 15% VAT

If a price already includes 15% VAT, you cannot simply subtract 15% from the total. The VAT-inclusive amount represents 115% of the original price.

Base Amount = VAT-Inclusive Amount ÷ 1.15

VAT = VAT-Inclusive Amount − Base Amount

Example:
If the VAT-inclusive amount is SAR 1,150:

Base Amount = 1,150 ÷ 1.15 = SAR 1,000
VAT = 1,150 − 1,000 = SAR 150
