What is Value Added Tax (VAT)?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax on consumption, charged on the supply of goods and services in the UK. It is levied at each stage of the production and distribution process, with businesses acting as intermediaries in the collection and remittance of VAT to HMRC. VAT is typically expressed as a percentage of the total value of the goods or services sold, known as the VAT rate.
