The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £3,000 × 1.2 = £3,600.00.
- Removing VAT: £3,000 ÷ 1.2 = £2,500.00. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £500.00, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £3,000 would give £2,400.00, which is £100.00 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
