Frequently asked questions

What is VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax added to goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. It’s commonly used in many countries to generate government revenue.

Who needs to register for VAT?

Businesses that meet or exceed the VAT threshold set by their country’s tax authority must register. This ensures they can charge VAT and reclaim it on business-related purchases.

How is VAT calculated?

VAT is calculated as a percentage of the sale price. For example, if a product costs £100 and the VAT rate is 20%, the total price would be £120 (£100 + £20 VAT).

Why is learning VAT important?

Understanding VAT is crucial for business compliance, accurate bookkeeping, and avoiding penalties. It also helps in making informed financial decisions and managing cash flow.
