Frequently Asked Questions
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax charged at each stage of production. The standard UK VAT rate is 20%, with reduced rates of 5% and 0% for certain goods and services. Unlike US sales tax, VAT is included in the displayed price.
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net price by (1 + VAT rate). For 20% VAT: Net price x 1.20 = Gross price. A product costing 100 becomes 120 with VAT. The VAT amount is 20.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the gross (VAT-inclusive) price by (1 + VAT rate). For 20% VAT: Gross price / 1.20 = Net price. A price of 120 including VAT has a net value of 100 and 20 in VAT.
