  • What is Value Added Tax (VAT)?

    Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax levied on the value added at each stage of the production and distribution chain. It is a type of indirect tax collected by businesses on behalf of the government and is ultimately borne by the end consumer.

  • Why is Value Added Tax (VAT) important?

    VAT is important for governments as it provides a significant source of revenue. It is a fair and efficient way to tax consumption, and its multi-stage collection helps prevent tax evasion.

  • How does Value Added Tax (VAT) work?

    VAT is applied to the difference between a business's sales and its purchases (input and output tax). Businesses collect VAT on their sales and remit the tax they paid on their purchases, with the net amount being the tax liability to the government.

  • What are the key features of a VAT system?

    Key features include input tax credits, which allow businesses to offset the tax they paid on purchases against the tax they collect on sales, and the multi-stage collection, where tax is applied at each stage of the supply chain.

  • How does VAT impact consumers and businesses?

    Consumers bear the final burden of VAT as it is included in the price of goods and services. Businesses act as tax collectors, and the VAT system provides them incentives for compliance while allowing them to recover tax paid on inputs.
