What is VAT? Who needs to pay and why?
VAT is a tax levied on revenue, non-cumulative, that is, the tax passed
on in purchases can be deducted from the tax levied on sales, and is also
detailed in the invoice, enabling the consumer to know exactly the amount of
tax that is included. in the price of the good or service purchased.
If it were implemented in Brazil, it could replace COFINS, PIS, IPI,
ICMS, ISS and even ITBI.
To understand better, suppose, for example, that company A sells its
goods (produced without the use of inputs) for a price of 100 pounds (before
tax) to company B, which, in turn, sells its production to consumers finals for
£400 (also before tax).
Suppose further that there is a VAT with a rate of 10%. Company A will
then charge company B £110 and pass on the £10 tax to the government.
Company B will charge 440 pounds from its end consumers, passing on the
30-pound tax to the government: a 40-pound tax on its sales minus a 10-pound
credit for taxes charged on its inputs. The government will then raise a total
of £40.
The economic effect of the tax is therefore equivalent to that of a 10%
rate on final sales (there is no tax incentive for company B to change its
production methods nor for the two companies to merge), but the form of
collection ensures more effective collection.
In the real case of the United Kingdom, 20% VAT is paid and this amount
can be refunded to international tourists who are not part of the European
Union.
In other words, Brazilians who are here on vacation must ask for the VAT
(VAT Return) form at commercial establishments, fill it out in front of the
seller and, at the airport, present the form with the invoices before going
through security.
