On April 1, 1973, Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced in the United Kingdom, replacing the Purchase Tax. The initial standard VAT rate was set at 10%. This tax was implemented as part of the UK’s commitment to align with European Economic Community (EEC) regulations as it prepared to join the EEC. VAT has since undergone several changes in rates and structure.
