Please read this before relying on any figure produced by the calculator.

General information only

The Sales Tax / VAT Calculator and all content on this site are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing here constitutes tax, legal, accounting, financial or business advice, and no advisor–client relationship is created by your use of the site.

No warranty of accuracy

Although we take care to implement the arithmetic correctly, we make no representation or warranty — express or implied — that the results, formulas, presets or explanations are accurate, complete, current or suitable for your particular situation. Tax rates, exemptions, thresholds, registration requirements, invoicing rules and rounding conventions differ between countries, states and product categories, and they change frequently. Preset rates shown on this site (including 7.5% for Nigeria) are conveniences, not authoritative statements of the law.

Verify before you rely

Always confirm the applicable rate and treatment with the relevant tax authority — for example the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in Nigeria, HMRC in the United Kingdom, or the IRS and your state revenue department in the United States — or with a qualified accountant or tax adviser, before issuing an invoice, filing a return, charging a customer or making a payment.

Rounding

Results are computed at full precision and rounded once, half-away-from-zero, to the minor unit of the selected currency (two decimal places for most currencies; none for zero-decimal currencies such as JPY, XOF and XAF). Your accounting software or invoice may round differently, so displayed figures can differ by a cent, kobo or equivalent unit.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our contributors accept no liability for any loss, damage, penalty, interest, fine or expense arising from the use of, or reliance on, this site or its results, including any error or omission. Use of the site is entirely at your own risk.

Third-party links and advertising

This site may contain links to third-party websites and may display advertising. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, products, services or data practices. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

Changes

This disclaimer may be updated at any time without notice. The version published on this page at the time of your use is the version that applies.
