The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £250,000 × 1.2 = £300,000.00.
  • Removing VAT: £250,000 ÷ 1.2 = £208,333.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £41,666.67, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £250,000 would give £200,000.00, which is £8,333.33 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
