The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £30 × 1.2 = £36.00.
- Removing VAT: £30 ÷ 1.2 = £25.00. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £5.00, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £30 would give £24.00, which is £1.00 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
