Understanding Value Added Tax (VAT)
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. Unlike a sales tax, which is only collected once at the final sale to the consumer, VAT is collected multiple times throughout the production process.
How VAT Calculation Works
VAT calculations involve three key components:
- Net Amount: The price before VAT is added
- VAT Amount: The tax amount calculated as a percentage of the net amount
- Gross Amount: The final price including VAT (Net Amount + VAT Amount)
Common VAT Rates Worldwide
- Standard Rate: Applied to most goods and services (typically 15-27%)
- Reduced Rate: Applied to specific goods like food, books, and medicines (typically 5-10%)
- Zero Rate: Applied to exported goods and some essential services
- Exempt: Certain goods and services are completely exempt from VAT
