How this is calculated

Choose whether to add VAT to a net amount or remove it from a VAT-inclusive gross amount.
To add VAT: multiply the net by 1 plus the rate (e.g. 1.19 for the 19% standard rate). To remove VAT: divide the gross by that same factor.
Select the Cypriot rate: 19% standard, 9% reduced, or 5% super-reduced. Confirm the classification of your goods or services with the Cyprus Tax Department.
