Do you mean LHS (left hand side) or RHS (right hand side)? The LHS is the "if" part; the RHS is the "then" part.

If you really mean RHS, then one simple way to translate this would look like

(defrule VAT
    (item (price ?xx))
    =>
    (assert (VAT (* ?xx 0.17))))

but of course I've made some arbitrary assumption about how item, price, and VAT are to be stored.

If you really mean LHS, well, that's just not how things work.

could you please guide me an example which says how I can use calculation in the LHS of the definition of a rule.

e.g
    if the price of item is xx  then VAT=xx * 17%
Thanks
