The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £40,000 × 1.2 = £48,000.00.
- Removing VAT: £40,000 ÷ 1.2 = £33,333.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £6,666.67, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £40,000 would give £32,000.00, which is £1,333.33 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
