What is VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax on most goods and services in the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man , applied at each stage of the supply chain but ultimately paid by the end consumer. Introduced in 1973 during the UK's entry into the European Economic Community (EEC) , it replaced Purchase Tax and the Selective Employment Tax . The UK Government briefly lowered the standard VAT rate to 15% in 2008 to support spending, later raising it to 20% in 2011 , which remains the current rate under HMRC rules.
