The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £55,000 × 1.2 = £66,000.00.
  • Removing VAT: £55,000 ÷ 1.2 = £45,833.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £9,166.67, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £55,000 would give £44,000.00, which is £1,833.33 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
