Examples on how to calculate the VAT charge

Example 1

Let us assume that a vendor wants to purchase a basic sponsored product package (#15000). The VAT calculation is 7.5%, what amount will the vendor pay?

(7.5 X 15000) / 100  = 1125

                              = 15000 + 1125

                               = 16125

The new amount that the vendor will pay for the above basic sponsored product package is now 16125

Example 2

A vendor is selling a cooling system which falls under the Automobile category with #390 Shipping cost, how much will the new shipping cost be, put into consideration the new 7.5% VAT charges?

(7.5 X 380) / 100 = 28.5

                           = 380 + 28.5

                           = 408.5

The new shipping cost will be #408.5

Example 3

If 25 pieces of small branded cartoon packaging material cost #900, how much will it cost if the VAT charge is 7.5%?

(7.5 X 900) / 100 = 67.5

                            = 900 + 67.5

                            = 967.5

The cost of the packaging material will be #967.5
