The formula

Each derived value below is computed by the Valem engine from the expression shown, in this order. Nothing else runs — there is no hidden code path.

Derived valueFieldFormula (JSONata)

Effective RateeffectiveRatereverseCharge ? 0 : rate
Net AmountnetAmountdirection = 'remove' ? $round(amount / (1 + effectiveRate), 2) : $round(amount, 2)

Rates and thresholds

The expressions above read these as $const. They are the figures the annual refresh replaces, so they live as data rather than being written into the formulas — which is what makes a year-on-year change a one-line diff instead of an edit to arithmetic.

Test vectors (5)

Every case is executed against this model on each build, by the Java engine and independently by a JavaScript one. A mismatch of a single cent fails the build, so the page cannot ship advertising a figure the model no longer produces.

Case 1 — S1 100.00 SGD net at 9%

Case 4 — S4 taxable supplies over SGD 1 million: registration required

This model is published under CC BY 4.0: use it, adapt it, build on it, with attribution. The licence covers the model — the expression of each rule and the arrangement of the catalog. The rates and thresholds are law, and nobody licenses those; the sources above are where they come from.
