Quick sum can you confirm this is right for me

Thank you

total is £1684.50

so vat is 250.88

so ex vat is £1433.62

My confidence seems to have gone!

yep looks right to me

may be being dopey but i make the VAT £294.79

just checked - am being dopey. sorry

am presuming vat is 17.5%

i agree with lummox on this one i got my ol trusty calculator out and worked the vat out (at 17.5%) and it came to £294.79

Thanks yes 17.5

i had a bit of a brainstorm doing it for some reason and it's to send out so don't want to look foolish

No - was me being dopey. £294 is the VAT on a net figure of £1684.50. £250.88 is the VAT on a net figure of £1433.62

Thanks for the support, though!

It was me writing it down backwards and confusing you!

I'm not used to doing big sums!

Zippi, Yes your calculation is correct. Divide inc VAT amount by 1.175 to get before VAT amount. To calculate the other way multiply by 1.175.
