A Brief History of VAT
VAT - or Value Added Tax - is charged by businesses at the point of sale of goods and services sold in the UK and the Isle of Man. Basically it is a tax on business transactions.
Value Added Tax was introduced in 1973 as a replacement for Purchase Tax and Selective Employment Tax, as a condition of UK entry into the European Economic Community. The standard rate has seen several changes, notably a temporary reduction from 17.5% to 15% in 2008 to boost the economy during the financial crisis, before increasing to its current 20% rate in January 2011.
We are dedicated to expanding our resources and will be launching a range of guides and articles to cover various VAT-related issues, such as the Flat Rate Scheme. If you have questions about VAT or any other tax-related matters, please let us know.

We are committed to maintaining and improving this calculator as a premier free resource. Our vision is to expand our offerings with more simple, powerful financial tools to help UK businesses and individuals thrive in an increasingly complex landscape.
