The VAT maths
- Adding VAT: £50 × 1.2 = £60.00.
- Removing VAT: £50 ÷ 1.2 = £41.67. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £8.33, not 20%.
- Taking 20% off £50 would give £40.00, which is £1.67 too low.
- VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
