Value-added Tax - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Value-added tax: A value-added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax levied at each stage of the production and distribution chain. It's based on the value added to a product or service at each stage of production. Businesses collect the tax from consumers on behalf of the government, making it a significant revenue source while minimizing tax evasion due to its incremental collection process.
