Can businesses reclaim VAT?
VAT-registered businesses can reclaim the VAT they pay on business purchases (input tax) against the VAT they charge on sales (output tax). Only the net difference is paid to HMRC (UK) or relevant authority. Consumers (end users) cannot reclaim VAT.
What is the difference between VAT and sales tax?
VAT is collected at each stage of production/distribution (value added at each step), with businesses reclaiming input tax. Sales tax is collected only at the final point of sale to the consumer. VAT is more common globally; sales tax is predominantly used in the US.
