The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £20 × 1.2 = £24.00.
- Removing VAT: £20 ÷ 1.2 = £16.67. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £3.33, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £20 would give £16.00, which is £0.67 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
