How do you extract 20% VAT from an inclusive gross (TTC) price?

Divide the TTC gross total by 1.20 to calculate the net pre-tax (HT) amount, then subtract the HT amount from the TTC total to determine the exact VAT component.

What does 'HT' and 'TTC' mean in French accounting?

'HT' stands for Hors Taxes (pre-tax base), while 'TTC' stands for Toutes Taxes Comprises (final all-inclusive consumer price).
