VAT law in the UK was governed by various Directives, notably the sixth VAT Directive of the European Community (1977). VAT is a tax on the final consumption of goods and services in the home market, but it is collected at every stage of production and distribution. When VAT was introduced on 1 April !973 there was one positive rate of tax. This was the standard rate of 10%. Subsiquently a higher rate (17,5%) was introduced. Some goods and services can be either zero-rated or exempt from VAT, which means that no tax is payable.
