The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £4,000 × 1.2 = £4,800.00.
  • Removing VAT: £4,000 ÷ 1.2 = £3,333.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £666.67, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £4,000 would give £3,200.00, which is £133.33 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
