What is VAT?
VAT stands for Value Added Tax/ADVALORE Mtax, an additional tax, a tax system in the European Union, which means that additional tax is added when shopping and is levied based on the price of the goods. If the price is incvat, it means tax is included; exclvat means tax is not included; Zerovat means the tax rate is 0. The tax rates in different countries are different. For example, Italy has a 22% tax rate (implemented in October 2013), (the UK is 17.5%, raised to 20% on January 4, 2011), which means that you have to pay 20% more. Argentina is 21% (some goods are exempted by 50%, which is 10.5%).
