Getting VAT/GST wrong on invoices creates compliance risk and damages client relationships. Use this tool to verify tax amounts before issuing invoices or filing returns.
VAT (Value Added Tax) and GST (Goods and Services Tax) are both multi-stage taxes collected at each point in the supply chain and ultimately borne by the end consumer - they're functionally the same concept. Sales Tax (used in the US) is collected only at the final point of sale. Businesses paying VAT/GST can reclaim input tax; US sales tax has no such mechanism.
