The UK standard VAT rate is 20%, set by HMRC. To add 20% VAT to any net amount, multiply by 1.20. This is the official HMRC formula used by all UK VAT-registered businesses.
HMRC Formula — Add VAT
£750 × 1.20 = £900
Net × (1 + VAT rate) = Gross
VAT amount only
£750 × 0.20 = £150
Net × VAT rate = VAT amount
If £750 is the gross (VAT-inclusive) price, you need to divide by 1.20 to find the net amount. This is called reverse VAT or removing VAT.
£750 ÷ 1.20 =
£625.00 net
VAT element: £125.00
