Value Added Tax (VAT) is presented as an indirect tax that is ultimately borne by final consumers and by businesses that are not VAT-registered. VAT-registered businesses collect VAT on sales as output VAT and pay VAT on purchases as input VAT, enabling net VAT payable or recoverable to be determined. The content explains key VAT mechanics including output vs input VAT, exemptions in supply types, and how the tax point or time of supply establishes when output VAT becomes due. It further covers VAT periods and submission/payment timelines, outlines compulsory and voluntary VAT registration rules using both historical and future thresholds, and describes VAT group registration with its practical advantages and joint liability considerations. Additional sections address how output VAT is calculated, when output VAT is not charged, and the conditions and documentation needed to recover input VAT, including pre-registration recovery rules for goods and services.
