FAQ
What is the difference between VAT and sales tax?
VAT is charged at every stage of production (UK, Europe). Sales tax is charged only at point of sale (USA, Canada).
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the inclusive price by (1 + rate/100). E.g. £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 pre-tax.
Does Canada charge VAT?
Canada uses GST (5% federal) and provincial taxes. Ontario and several provinces combine them as HST. It works like VAT but is called differently.
