Value Added Tax (VAT)

VAT is a consumption tax imposed at each stage of the supply chain where value is added. Businesses collect VAT on sales and pay VAT on purchases, remitting the difference to tax authorities. It’s widely used internationally and requires careful tracking of input and output tax.
