How is VAT calculated?
Each country has a different VAT rate but let's take 21%. To calculate the VAT amount, multiply the energy costs (after any discounts) plus transaction fee by the VAT rate.
Let’s say energy costs £50, the calculation is as follows: 50.0 * 0.21 = £10.50
For the transaction fee, 0.29 * 0.21 = £0.06
So, 60.50 (50+ 10.50) + 35 (0.29+0.06) = £60.85
