“Add tax” starts from a net price. “Remove tax” works backwards from a total that already includes tax. This is the STANDARD rate in Malta — reduced rates, zero-rating and exemptions may apply to specific items. If you know a different rate applies to your item, type it into the rate field.

How to calculate Malta VAT in 3 steps

Enter your amount. Type the price you are working with — either before tax or tax-inclusive, depending on what you have.
Pick the rate and direction. The 18% standard rate is pre-filled and editable; choose “Add tax” or “Remove tax”.
Read the split instantly. You get the net amount, the exact tax, and the gross total — ready to quote, invoice, or check a receipt against.

Why getting the Malta split right matters

Getting the tax split wrong is how invoices turn into arguments: the net, the tax and the total must all be visible and correct. This calculator shows all three instantly, both ways — adding tax to a net price and extracting it from a gross total. When the numbers are right, drop them straight into the free invoice generator.

Malta VAT FAQ

The standard rate is 18%.

Multiply the net price by the rate and add it on: a €500.00 item at 18% gives €90.00 of tax and a €590.00 total. In the calculator, choose “Add tax”, enter the amount and rate, and the split appears instantly.

Divide the gross total by (1 + rate ÷ 100). At 18%, a €500.00 total divides to a €423.73 net — the tax inside it is €76.27. Choose “Remove tax” in the calculator and it does this for you.

No. Most VAT systems zero-rate exports and exempt or reduce essentials such as food, medicine or education — but which items qualify differs by country, so check the local rules for your item. The calculator uses the standard rate; type a different rate if your item qualifies for another.
