How it works
Adding tax multiplies the net price by the rate and adds it on. Removing tax works backwards from a tax-inclusive price to find the original net amount.
Gross = Net × (1 + rate); Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate)Frequently asked questions
What is the VAT rate in Italy?
The standard rate is 22%. Italy’s VAT (IVA) has a standard rate of 22%, with reduced rates of 10% (e.g. some food, tourism), 5% (e.g. certain social services) and 4% (e.g. basic foodstuffs, books).
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net amount by 1.22. For example, €100 plus 22% VAT is €122.
How do I remove VAT from a total?
Divide the tax-inclusive total by 1.22. So €122 ÷ 1.22 = €100 before tax, and the VAT portion is €22.

How VAT works in Italy
Italy charges VAT at a standard rate of 22% on most goods and services. It is a consumption tax collected in stages: businesses add it to their sales and reclaim the VAT they pay on purchases, so the cost ultimately falls on the final consumer.
Adding and removing VAT
To add 22% VAT, multiply the net price by 1.22 — so €100 becomes €122, of which €22 is tax. To remove it from a tax-inclusive total, divide by 1.22: €122 ÷ 1.22 = €100 before tax.
