The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £60 × 1.2 = £72.00.
  • Removing VAT: £60 ÷ 1.2 = £50.00. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £10.00, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £60 would give £48.00, which is £2.00 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
