The dealer pays VAT by deducting the tax paid on purchases (input tax) from his tax collected on sales (output tax). Hence, VAT = Output Tax - Input Tax.
For example: A dealer pays Rs.10.00 @ 10% on his purchase price of goods valued Rs.100.00. He sells the goods at Rs.150.00 and collects tax amounting to Rs.15.00 (@ 10%). He will pay Rs.5.00 (Rs.15.00- Rs.10.00) as he has already paid Rs.10.00 to his seller while purchasing those goods.

There is no such term as gross of VAT. The amount with VAT is called the gross amount while the net of VAT is the amount after the VAT has been deducted.
To calculate VAT input and output, first identify the VAT you paid on purchases (input VAT) and the VAT you charged on sales (output VAT). Input VAT is the tax included in the cost of goods or services acquired for business use, while output VAT is the tax collected from customers on sales. To determine the VAT you owe to the tax authorities, subtract the total input VAT from the total output VAT. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, you pay the difference; if the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, you may be eligible for a VAT refund.
