How does vat affect the accounting equation?
The VAT can affect the accounting equation in two different ways. The accounting equation is ASSET=CAPITAL+LIABILITIES So, if VAT is OWED from HMRC (receivable) it will be an asset, so the asset will increase and the Capital will increase as well. ASSET+X=CAPITAL+X+LIABILITIES, where X is the amount of VAT received. If VAT is owed TO HMRC (payable), then the liabilities will increase, which means that the capital will decrease with the same amount. ASSET=(CAPITAL-Y)+(LIABILITIES+Y) where Y is the amount of VAT to be paid.

Can a increase in one asset increase another asset?
Since both sides of the balance sheet (the Assets side and the Liabilities/Owners' Equity side) must have equal totals, an entry showing an increase in an asset must be balanced with an corresponding increase in a liability or a decrease in another asset.Generally, an increase in an asset (e.g., the acquisition of a new asset) means that either we have decreased another asset (e.g., cash) to pay for it, or we have incurred debt to acquire the asset (thereby increasing our liabilities).1) increase in one asset - corresponding decrease in another asset (e.g. we pay cash for new asset)2) increase in one asset - corresponding increase in a liability (e.g., we acquire an asset on credit)

Do Debits increase assets and increase liabilities?
Debiting an asset account does increase that account, however debiting a liability account decreases the liability. Remember the double entry accounting equation... Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity) In double entry accounting as I've stated in many other answers, "for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction". In other words for ever Debit there must be an equal credit. Since Assets INCREASE with a debit, it stands to reason that Liabilities "MUST" decrease with a Debit. Since opposite sides of the equation can not have the same affect. You can not debit an asset and a liability in the same transaction for the exact amount. For example, say you purchase equipment on credit. Your Assets are going to increase, but so is liabilities, because you now "owe" a debt. Assets increase with a debit, you can't have a second debit for the "same" amount in the single transaction, for every debit there is an equal credit (always). Therefore equipment purchase on credit for $500 will increase your asset of equipment (debit) $500 and increase your liability account payable (credit) $500.
