# **VAT-Inclusive Prices**

By default, Factura assumes that prices you enter on estimates and invoices are **net amounts** (excluding VAT). VAT is then calculated and added on top to produce the total.

If your workflow uses gross pricing - where the amounts you quote already include VAT - you can switch to VAT-inclusive mode. In this mode, Factura extracts the VAT portion from the amounts you enter instead of adding it on top, so the total remains equal to the gross amount.

## How to Enable

1. Go to **Settings** → **Billing Preferences**.
2. Make sure VAT is enabled.
3. Toggle on **VAT-inclusive prices**.

This option is only available when VAT is enabled on your account.

## How It Affects Your Documents

When VAT-inclusive mode is active:

- Enter your prices as **gross amounts** (VAT already included).
- The summary section shows a **Total excl. VAT** line, which is the net amount automatically extracted from your gross prices.
- The VAT amount is the difference between the gross total and the net total.

**Example** - CHF 108.10 entered with an 8.1% VAT rate:

|  | **Normal mode** | **VAT-inclusive mode** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Amount entered | CHF 100.00 (net) | CHF 108.10 (gross) |
| VAT (8.1%) | + CHF 8.10 | – CHF 8.10 extracted |
| **Total** | **CHF 108.10** | **CHF 108.10** |

## Per-Document Setting

The setting in **Billing Preferences** applies to new documents only. Each estimate and invoice stores the mode that was active when it was created. Changing the setting later does not affect existing documents.
