How it works
Adding tax multiplies the net price by the rate and adds it on. Removing tax works backwards from a tax-inclusive price to find the original net amount.
Gross = Net × (1 + rate); Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate)Frequently asked questions

How IVA works in Mexico
Mexico charges IVA at a standard rate of 16% on most goods and services. It is a consumption tax collected in stages: businesses add it to their sales and reclaim the IVA they pay on purchases, so the cost ultimately falls on the final consumer.
Adding and removing IVA
To add 16% IVA, multiply the net price by 1.16 — so MX$100 becomes MX$116, of which MX$16 is tax. To remove it from a tax-inclusive total, divide by 1.16: MX$116 ÷ 1.16 = MX$100 before tax.
