VAT formulas and examples
Use these formulas to check the amount added to a tax-free price or removed from a tax-included total.
Add tax
Total = tax-free price x (1 + rate / 100)
Remove tax
Tax-free price = tax-included total / (1 + rate / 100)
Tax amount
Tax = tax-free price x rate / 100
Quick example
Starting from $100, a 17.5% rate gives $17.5 in tax and $117.5 total.
Starting from $117.5, the tax-free amount is $100 and the tax is $17.5.
Barbados VAT: standard, tourism and telecommunications rates
Barbados applies Value Added Tax (VAT). The Barbados Revenue Authority lists 17.5% for standard supplies, 22% for telecommunications services, 7.5% for the direct-tourism category described on its rates page and 0% for zero-rated items. A separate tourism policy note sets 10% VAT on guest accommodation from 1 January 2020.
The applicable percentage depends on the supply. Zero-rated and exempt supplies are not interchangeable, and tourism levies can arise separately from VAT.
Barbados dollar examples and calculator boundary
On Bds$1,000 before tax, standard VAT is Bds$175 and the total is Bds$1,175. The same base becomes Bds$1,100 at the 10% guest-accommodation rate or Bds$1,220 at the 22% telecommunications rate.
The calculator applies only a selected percentage and its existing options do not include 7.5%. It does not identify the legal category of a supply, add room, product-development or shared-economy levies, test exemptions, or prepare a VAT return. Its result is orientative and is not personalised tax advice.
