How do I remove VAT from a gross price?

Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100). For £1,200 at 20%: 1200 / 1.20 = £1,000 net, £200 VAT.

What is the standard VAT rate in the UK and EU?

UK 20% (reduced 5%, zero-rated for essentials). EU member states: 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary).

Who must register for VAT?

Businesses above the registration threshold — UK £90,000 turnover (2024). Voluntary registration is allowed below threshold.

Is VAT the same as GST?

Mechanically yes — both are credited along the supply chain. India calls it GST; UK / EU / many others call it VAT.
