Adding and removing 23% Irish VAT
Add VAT: net × 1.23 = gross. €100 net → €123 gross (VAT €23).
Remove VAT: gross ÷ 1.23 = net. €123 gross → €100 net (VAT €23).
For the reverse direction in detail, see the reverse VAT calculator. For cross-border or EU B2B sales, the reverse-charge mechanism often means the seller invoices without VAT.
