The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £400 × 1.2 = £480.00.
- Removing VAT: £400 ÷ 1.2 = £333.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £66.67, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £400 would give £320.00, which is £13.33 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
