Frequently Asked Questions
What is VAT?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied at each stage of production. It's used in over 160 countries. Unlike sales tax (applied once at point of sale), VAT is collected incrementally through the supply chain.
What VAT rate should I use?
VAT rates vary by country: UK 20%, Germany 19%, France 20%, Canada (GST) 5%, Australia (GST) 10%. Many countries also have reduced rates for essential goods like food and medicine.
How do I calculate the VAT on a VAT-inclusive price?
Divide the total by (1 + VAT rate). For a £120 item with 20% VAT: £120 / 1.20 = £100 net price, and £20 is the VAT. The formula is: VAT = Total − (Total / (1 + Rate)).
