Questions people ask
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + rate ÷ 100). For 20% VAT, divide by 1.2. The difference is the VAT.
Is VAT the same as sales tax?
Both are taxes on purchases. VAT and GST are charged at each step of the supply chain, while US sales tax is charged once at the final sale. The maths for one price is the same.
Why is 20% VAT not the same as taking 20% off?
VAT is 20% of the net price, not the gross price. On a £120 gross price the VAT is £20 (one sixth), not £24.
