How VAT Works In Zambia (2025)
Understanding VAT Calculations
- Adding VAT: When you need to add VAT to a price, multiply the base amount by (1 + VAT rate). For Zambia's 16% rate: Amount × 1.16
- Removing VAT: To find the price excluding VAT from a VAT-inclusive price, divide by (1 + VAT rate). For 16%: Amount ÷ 1.16
- VAT Amount: The VAT portion alone is calculated as: (Total Amount × VAT Rate) ÷ (1 + VAT Rate)
Quick Examples
- Add VAT: K100 + 16% VAT = K116.00
- Remove VAT: K116.00 ÷ 1.16 = K100
