Frequently Asked Questions

What is VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services at each stage of production. In the UK the standard rate is 20%. EU rates vary by country, typically between 17–27%.

How do I remove VAT from a price?

To remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price, divide by (1 + VAT rate). For a £120 price at 20% VAT: £120 / 1.20 = £100 net price, with £20 VAT.

Is VAT the same as sales tax?

They are similar but collected differently. VAT is collected at every stage of production; sales tax is typically collected only at the final point of sale to the consumer.
