The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £1,500 × 1.2 = £1,800.00.
- Removing VAT: £1,500 ÷ 1.2 = £1,250.00. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £250.00, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £1,500 would give £1,200.00, which is £50.00 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
