A value-added tax (VAT) is a tax on the value added to a product or service at each stage of production or distribution. It is also known as a "goods and services tax" (GST) in some countries. It is a common form of taxation used in many countries around the world, particularly in Europe. VAT differs from a sales tax in that it is levied on each stage of production rather than just on the final sale to the consumer.
