We usually calculate VAT by adding it to a price. But what happens when you are a freelancer, business owner, or accountant and you are handed a final receipt of 5,750 Taka that "Includes 15% VAT"? Trying to extract the original base price and the exact VAT amount mathematically is a lot harder than just dividing by 15%.
Reverse Engineering Your Math
If you just subtract 15% from the final price, you will get the wrong answer! The math requires dividing the total by 1.15 (for a 15% rate). When you are dealing with dozens of receipts for your company’s tax return, doing this manually is a guaranteed way to make accounting errors.
