FAQ

What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax added at each stage of production/distribution. The end consumer bears the full VAT cost. It differs from US sales tax, which is only applied at the final sale.
How do I remove VAT from a gross price?
Ex-VAT Price = Gross Price ÷ (1 + VAT Rate). Example: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 ex-VAT. VAT amount = £120 − £100 = £20.
What countries use VAT vs GST?
Europe uses VAT. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Singapore use GST (Goods and Services Tax) — functionally similar to VAT but branded differently. The US uses Sales Tax instead.
Can businesses reclaim VAT?
VAT-registered businesses can typically reclaim VAT paid on business purchases (input tax). Only the final consumer bears the full VAT cost. Businesses charge VAT on sales (output tax) and remit the difference to tax authorities.
