Questions people ask

What is the VAT rate in Zambia?

The standard rate is 16%. Some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt, so check the Zambia Revenue Authority for your item.

How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the price by 1.160. For example K116.00 ÷ 1.160 = K100.00 before VAT, so the VAT is K16.00. Taking 16% off the total gives the wrong answer.
