What is Value Added Tax (VAT) ?

VAT stands for Value Added Tax. It’s a kind of indirect tax for goods and services, generally during any stage of the supply chain that adds value to a product. 

It means not only the end consumer but also all participants of the supply chain have to pay VAT. 

VAT is considered one of the most used consumption tax. The U.S. is the only country that doesn’t charge VAT. While more than 170 countries in the world legally use VAT rates.

VAT is mostly used by governments as a source of revenue.  

Although the essence of Value Added Tax is the same for all countries, however, there are many differences in their implementation. Differences are based on types of goods and services, imports or exports and local rules of payments and penalties.
