Frequently Asked Questions
How is VAT calculated?+
To add VAT: VAT = Net Price × (Rate / 100). Gross = Net + VAT. For £100 at 20%: VAT = £20, Gross = £120. To extract VAT from gross: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate/100). £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 net.
What is the difference between VAT and sales tax?+
VAT is collected at each stage of production/distribution. Sales tax is collected only at the final point of sale. VAT is used in 170+ countries; the US uses sales tax instead.
What are common VAT rates?+
EU countries range from 17-27%. UK: 20%. Germany: 19%. France: 20%. Many countries have reduced rates for essentials (food, medicine) and zero-rated items (exports).
