How VAT Works In Uganda (2025)

Understanding VAT Calculations

  1. Adding VAT: When you need to add VAT to a price, multiply the base amount by (1 + VAT rate). For Uganda's 18% rate: Amount × 1.18
  2. Removing VAT: To find the price excluding VAT from a VAT-inclusive price, divide by (1 + VAT rate). For 18%: Amount ÷ 1.18
  3. VAT Amount: The VAT portion alone is calculated as: (Total Amount × VAT Rate) ÷ (1 + VAT Rate)

Quick Examples

  • Add VAT: USh100 + 18% VAT = USh118.00
  • Remove VAT: USh118.00 ÷ 1.18 = USh100
