Chapter 18 - Value of the Supply

Question 1

Consideration Wholly in Money

Answer 1

Gross value of supply, or VAT inclusive value, is the value of the consideration given for it.
Consideration = price of item +VAT
120% = 100% + 20%
6 = 5 + 1
5/6 of consideration is net price, 1/6 is the VAT

Question 2

Prompt Payment Discount

Answer 2

Sometimes a discount is offered if the payment is made quickly. VAT can only be calculated on the discounted amount when the customer pays within the retired time scale. If the supplier doesn’t know if the customer will pay early, VAT must be charged on the full amount and shown on the invoice. Invoice must also show the rate of discount offered.
