The method

  1. Expected tax = taxable amount × rate. The variance against what the invoice states is shown as it is, with no rounding to hide it.
  2. The five elements are checked for presence rather than validity: the tool says an element is missing; it does not judge whether a tax number written on the page is real.
  3. The result is a teaching check rather than a filing or a tax opinion, and the rate is an input because a supply may be exempt or zero-rated.

Rate provenance

Standard VAT rate — 15%

When persons subject to VAT sell a good or provide a service, they must charge tax at a rate of 15% (assuming that the standard rate applies to those supplies), which is added to the final selling price.

The standard rate applies where the supply is standard-rated. Exempt and zero-rated supplies are treated differently, and the source itself qualifies the figure with "assuming that the standard rate applies".

When you need it

A tax figure or document needs checking before it enters the return bridge. Check a supplier invoice before recording it: is its tax right, and does it carry what makes the input deductible?

The decision it supports

Use the result to identify the exception that needs evidence or review before filing. The tool shows its method beside the result so you can review it.
