Question
Which one of the following statements regarding Value Added Tax (VAT) is incorrect?Select one:a.VAT is levied at 15% on the supply by a vendor of goods or services in the course or furtherance of any entity carried on by a vendorb.VAT is levied for purposes of generating services for the governmentc.VAT is often referred to as tax on consumption of goods or servicesd.VAT is tax added to the cost of a product or services
Solution
The incorrect statement is:
b. VAT is levied for purposes of generating services for the government
Explanation: VAT is not levied for the purpose of generating services for the government. Rather, it is a type of consumption tax that is placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. The amount of VAT that the user pays is on the cost of the product, less any of the costs of materials used in the product that have already been taxed. The purpose of VAT is to generate revenue for the government, but it is not specifically for generating services.
