VAT was first devised by a German economist during the 18th Century. He envisioned a sales tax on goods that did not affect the cost of manufacture or distribution but was collected on the final price charged to the consumer. Thus, it did not matter how many transactions the goods went through; the tax was always a fixed percentage of the final price.
The tax was finally adopted by France in 1954. Upon the formation of the Common Market in Europe (now the European Union) it was decided that one requirement of joining was the imposition of a form of VAT. In 1973 the UK joined the European Union and replaced the existing Sales Tax with VAT.
British Conservative Party Prime Minister Edward Heath presided over Britain's full entry into the European Economic Community.
