The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £550 × 1.2 = £660.00.
  • Removing VAT: £550 ÷ 1.2 = £458.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £91.67, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £550 would give £440.00, which is £18.33 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
