The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £10 × 1.2 = £12.00.
  • Removing VAT: £10 ÷ 1.2 = £8.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £1.67, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £10 would give £8.00, which is £0.33 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
