Pre tax and post tax percentages |
2018-05-22 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
Tom pose la question : Hi,
I work in a clothes shop which can also do mail-orders. My Head Office
has sent a report with which we can check the records we keep in store
tally with those at HO.
According to that report we have taken £2578.25 in orders, excluding VAT (20%),
which would therefore be £3093.91 including VAT (2578.25+20%=3093.91).
According to my records, we have taken £3179.32 including VAT, which would be
£2543.45 excluding VAT (3179.32-20%=2543.45).
Why is it that the difference between the VAT inclusive figures (3179.32-3093.91) is +£85.41, but
the difference between the VAT exclusive figures (2543.45-2578.26) is -£34.81?
Now, I can see from the report that 1 order has not been recorded by HO, and I
know that our average order value is around £30, so the -£34.81 makes sense.
But surely both figures should be a minus, regardless of whether they include VAT?
I'm sure there is an obvious answer, but I just cannot see it! Any help would be gratefully
received.
Thanks,
Tom Penny Nom lui répond. |
