The UK's VAT Rate Explained

What is VAT?

VAT, or Value Added Tax, is levied on the sale of goods and services in the EU and the UK. It is a type of 'consumption tax' because it is charged on items that people buy and is also an 'indirect tax' because it is collected by businesses on behalf of the Government.
