When does the intermediate 10% rate apply?

The 10% rate applies to catering (restaurant meals), hotel accommodation, passenger transport, non-reimbursable medicines, concert/sports tickets, and (non-energy) renovation works on residential properties over 2 years old.

How do you calculate VAT starting from a tax-inclusive price?

VAT = TTC - TTC / (1 + rate). Example with 20%: VAT = 120 - 120/1.20 = 120 - 100 = EUR 20. The formula HT = TTC / (1 + rate) is called "isolating the taxable price".
