The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £300 × 1.2 = £360.00.
  • Removing VAT: £300 ÷ 1.2 = £250.00. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £50.00, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £300 would give £240.00, which is £10.00 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
