Adding 13% VAT (China) to your net amount.
How to add 13% VAT
Multiply the net amount by 0.13 to get the VAT, then add it on. For example, 1,000.00 CNY net + 130.00 CNY VAT = 1,130.00 CNY gross.
How to remove VAT from a price
Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1.13. For example, 1,000.00 CNY including VAT ÷ 1.13 = 884.96 CNY net, so the VAT is 115.04 CNY. Subtracting 13% of the gross instead would give 870.00 CNY, which understates the net amount. It's the most common VAT mistake.

About VAT in China
VAT (value-added tax) is a consumption tax charged at each stage of supply. Businesses add it to their sales and generally reclaim the VAT they pay on their own purchases, so the tax is ultimately borne by the final consumer.
The standard rate in China is 13%, charged in CNY. Reduced or zero rates may apply to some goods and services. Use the calculator's custom rate for those, and confirm current rates with the tax authority before you file.
