VAT breakdown
Adding and removing French VAT
France charges VAT (TVA) at a 20% standard rate and reduced rates of 10%, 5.5%, and 2.1%. Adding VAT multiplies the net (HT) by the rate. Removing VAT divides the gross (TTC) by one plus the rate to recover the net.
20% standard rate
The 20% rate applies to most goods and services. On a net price of 100 the VAT is 20 and the gross is 120.
Reduced rates
10% covers restaurant meals and some services, 5.5% most food and books, and 2.1% certain medicines and press. Confirm the category before you apply a reduced rate.
HT and TTC
HT (hors taxes) is the net price. TTC (toutes taxes comprises) is the gross. Add to go from HT to TTC, remove to go the other way.
