In the UK, the value-added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax, which is paid by the end consumer. In this sense, VAT is collected at every point in the production chain. As a consumption tax, VAT is considered to be a tax on the difference between the cost of production and the price at which the goods are sold. The VAT rate in the UK was set at 17.5% until 1973 when it was increased to 25%. The rate increased again to 15% in 1993. Hope this will help you.
