UK VAT registered businesses are required to account for VAT each quarter. Businesses are able to offset the sums they receive in from the sum they pay out. They are accountable to HMRC for the difference. This is classed as the VAT- input and output tax.
Input tax is the VAT you pay to your supplier on the purchase of goods or services supplied to your business.
Output tax is the VAT you charge your customers on the sale of your goods or services to your customers.
