The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £70 × 1.2 = £84.00.
  • Removing VAT: £70 ÷ 1.2 = £58.33. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £11.67, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £70 would give £56.00, which is £2.33 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
