| | Value added tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | VAT is an indirect tax, in that the tax is collected from someone other than the person who actually bears the cost of the tax (namely the seller rather than the consumer). | | | The tax was raised to 12% on February 1. | | | Value added tax (VAT) is similar to a sales tax in that it is levied at the time of the sale of goods and services. |

| | The Value Added Tax Controversy |
| | Value Added Tax (VAT) is a general indirect tax assessed and collected on the value added to goods in each business transaction. | | | Introduction of VAT is considered to be a major tax reform as it eliminates the cascading effect of multipoint taxation associated with the existing sales tax regime. | | | VAT is levied only on the value added after setting off the tax already paid on the inputs. |

| | Value added tax |
| | VAT is therefore generally not a cost to a registered trader. | | | The tax point is important in determining the period in which the supply is made, the rate of tax to be applied and the category (standard, zero-rated or exempt) to be taken. | | | VAT is a tax on turnover and is added at every stage of manufacture or process, based on the value added at each stage. |

| | Value Added Tax (VAT) |
| | Unlike a retail sales tax or the present sales tax scheme, which are essentially single point taxes, VAT is charged and collected at each stage of the production / processing / trading, on the portion of the value added in the goods sold. | | | The value addition is the difference (not just the profit) on sale and purchase value of all taxable supplies. | | | In VAT system, the first seller will pay the first point tax and subsequent sellers will pay tax only on the value addition done by them – resulting into a total tax burden usually equal to the last point tax. |

| | Beware the Value-Added Tax |
| | The economic damage caused by a VAT is partly due to the increase in the aggregate tax burden. | | | The flat tax is levied one time—at one low rate—when income is earned, while the VAT and national retail sales tax are levied one time—at one low rate— when income is spent. | | | VAT supporters point out that most other taxes, particularly income taxes and payroll taxes, are not rebated on exported goods and that this policy makes American products more costly and less competitive. |
