About Value Added Tax
VAT - or Value Added Tax - is charged by businesses at the point of sale of goods and services sold in the UK and the Isle of Man. Basically it is a tax on business transactions. Value Added Tax was introduced in 1973 as a replacement for Purchase Tax and Selective Employment Tax, as a condition of UK entry into the European Economic Community.
The reduction in the standard rate of VAT from 17.5% to 15% was prompted by the recent financial turmoil in the global financial system in 2008 and increased to 20% in January 2011.
The Chancellor stated that the temporary reduction would last for 13 months before returning to 17.5 per cent in January 2010.
The Chancellor stated in his 2008 Pre-Budget report that "This temporary reduction is the equivalent of the Government giving back some 12 and a half billion pounds to consumers to boost the economy."
