Value added tax (VAT) is a form of consumption tax that is to be paid to the government. This payment can be done by the business owner or with the help of a VAT agent UK.  As VAT is a multi- stage tax, it will be calculated for every stage of the production of a product including the final stage. The amount of the VAT has to be paid by the customer or the buyer as it will be included in the total cost of the product. There is a need to get your business register for VAT if the total turnover of your company is £85,000 per year.
