The VAT on £10 at the standard 20% rate is £2.00, making a gross total of £12.00.
If £10 is the net price (excluding VAT), adding 20% VAT gives:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Net | £10.00 |
| VAT (20%) | £2.00 |
| Gross | £12.00 |
If £10 is the gross price (including 20% VAT), removing the VAT gives a net of £8.33 and VAT of £1.67 (the VAT is one sixth of the gross).
At the reduced 5% rate, adding VAT to £10 net gives £0.50 VAT and a gross of £10.50.
Adding 20% VAT to £10 gives £2.00 of VAT and a gross total of £12.00.
£10 plus 20% VAT is £12.00.
