The VAT maths

  • Adding VAT: £8,000 × 1.2 = £9,600.00.
  • Removing VAT: £8,000 ÷ 1.2 = £6,666.67. The VAT inside a VAT-inclusive price is one sixth of it, £1,333.33, not 20%.
  • Taking 20% off £8,000 would give £6,400.00, which is £266.67 too low.
  • VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on business costs, so the net figure is their real cost.
