Examples on how to calculate the VAT increment

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 a mobile phone which falls under the Phones and Tablet category with #240 Shipping cost, how much will the new shipping cost be, put into consideration the new 7.5% VAT charges?

(7.5% X 100) / 240 = 18

= 240 + 18

258

The new shipping cost will be #258
