Learn About VAT

What is VAT?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a type of indirect tax applied to goods and services. Unlike sales tax, VAT is collected at each stage of the production and distribution chain, but only on the value added at each stage.

How VAT Works

When you purchase goods or services, VAT is typically included in the price. Businesses collect VAT from customers and remit it to the government, claiming back the VAT they paid on their own purchases.
