i have purchased 3 things, amounting to £28:27 before VAT, Vat has been charged (£2.66). How much of the total amount have i been charged VAT on?

[Tilly2]

You have been charged VAT on all of it. Approx 10%

[Buenchico]

20% = £2.66
Multiply by 5:
100% = £13.30

[EcclesCake]

£13.30

I think VAT is 20%, Tilly

[SirOracle]

Tilly Vat is 20% in the uk,not 10% as you seem to think. :-)

[sunny-dave]

£13.30 vatable items
£2.66 VAT
£12.31 non vatable items

[Tilly2]

I just divided the amount by the vat amount. £28.27/£2.66 = 10.77. I may have misunderstood the question.

I though black cat wanted the percentage of the whole amount.

[plowter]

(vat charged) / (total amount) convert to %age

2.6 / 28.77 = 0.0903 = 9.03%

Assumes total cost is liable for VAT

I wish I hadn't answered this.

sorry if i was unclear. I bought 3 toys from amazon, one for around £8 one for around £9 and one for around £13, and was charged £2.66 VAT and i still can really understand why

[zebo]

The VAT seems to only have been applied to the £13, are some toys VAT exempt?

[Psybbo]

Is there VAT on delivery charge?

[black_cat51]

no delivery charge
