Frequently asked questions
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax — charged at each stage of production/distribution, ultimately paid by the consumer. Most countries use VAT; the US uses sales tax instead.
How to remove VAT from a gross price?
Net = Gross / (1 + VAT rate). For 20% VAT: net = gross / 1.20. Don't just subtract 20% — that gives the wrong answer.
Is VAT tax-deductible for businesses?
Registered businesses typically reclaim VAT paid on inputs (input VAT) against VAT charged on outputs — so they effectively only remit the difference to the tax authority.
When is VAT zero?
Exports are typically zero-rated. Certain goods (basic food, children's clothing in UK) may be zero-rated or exempt depending on jurisdiction.
