VAT question

    Just started my business and concerned about receipts. Probably a silly
    question!

    I have bought quite a lot of stuff in dribs and drabs locally for which I
    get totalled receipts. Although they show VAT number and one can reasonably
    assume they are for VATable items, can I split the amounts myself into VAT
    and non-VAT elements?

    Many thanks in advance

    Yes. You extract the VAT by applying the VAT fraction.
    Multiply the tax inclusive amount by 7, divide by 47. The
    answer is the VAT.

    Best wishes

    Many thanks. I feel I was being a little pedantic but needed to satisfy my
    concern.
