Italian VAT calculator — taxable amount, tax and total

Calculation assumptions
- Taxable supply made in Italy. Zero-rated, exempt and out-of-scope supplies, reverse charge, split payment and the special schemes are not covered.
- You choose the rate: whether a reduced rate applies depends on Table A of Presidential Decree 633/1972 and is not checked here.
- Rates in force in 2026 according to the Italian Revenue Agency's guidance page. The Consolidated VAT Act (Legislative Decree no. 10 of 19 January 2026) reorganises the rules: the rates must be checked again once its provisions take effect.
