Frequently Asked Questions
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on goods and services at each stage of production. The final consumer pays the VAT, which is collected by businesses on behalf of the government.
How do I calculate VAT from an inclusive price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + rate/100) to get the net price. The difference is the VAT amount. For example, £120 at 20%: Net = £120 / 1.20 = £100.
