What is VAT, and how does it work?

VAT is a tax applied at each stage of the production and distribution chain, ultimately borne by the end consumer. Businesses add VAT to the price of goods and services they sell (output tax) and can reclaim VAT paid on their purchases (input tax). The difference between output tax and input tax is paid to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
