What is VAT in Rwanda
VAT (Value Added Tax) in Rwanda is 18% at the standard rate. VAT-registered businesses charge it on taxable goods and services and remit it to the Rwanda Revenue Authority.
How to calculate VAT in Rwanda
To add VAT at 18%: VAT = net price × 0.18; gross price = net price × 1.18. For example, RWF 100,000 net becomes RWF 118,000 with VAT.
To remove VAT at 18%: net price = gross price ÷ 1.18. For example, RWF 118,000 gross is RWF 100,000 net plus RWF 18,000 VAT.
