How VAT is calculated
01
From a price without VAT
VAT = price × rate. Total = price + VAT. For €100 at 18%: VAT is €18, the total €118.
02
From a price with VAT
Base = total ÷ (1 + rate). For €118 at 18%: 118 ÷ 1.18 = €100, so the VAT is €18.
03
The most common mistake
Taking 18% of the price that already includes VAT. 18% of €118 is €21.24 — wrong. VAT is extracted by dividing by 1.18, not by multiplying by 0.18.

In Kosovo, 18% is the standard rate, 8% the reduced rate for a specific list of goods and services, and 0% applies to exempt or zero-rated supplies. Which rate applies to your item is a question for your accountant or ATK — the calculator only does the arithmetic.

How is 18% VAT calculated in Kosovo?
