Taxes

Value added tax (vat)

Value-added tax, or VAT, is a type of turnover tax that is applied at every stage of production and distribution. While the end consumer is ultimately responsible for paying VAT, the supplier of goods or services is the one held liable. To ensure that the tax burden falls on the final consumer, VAT often uses a system of tax credits. This relieves intermediaries from the final tax cost and places it on the end consumer.
