VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax levied at each stage of the supply chain. India replaced VAT with GST in 2017, but VAT still applies to petroleum products (petrol, diesel, aviation turbine fuel), alcohol for human consumption, and some state-specific items. This calculator handles VAT computation for these items and also serves international users where VAT is the primary indirect tax.
📋 How to Use This Calculator

The calculator shows VAT amount, final price, and the VAT recovery amount for businesses that can claim input tax credit. For Indian context, a petroleum VAT calculator shows the state-wise VAT component in fuel prices.
