What kind of things do you pay VAT on?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is typically paid on a wide range of goods and services, including everyday items like food, clothing, and electronics, as well as services such as restaurant meals, hotel stays, and professional services. Some items, like basic groceries and certain healthcare products, may be exempt or have reduced rates. VAT is usually included in the final price consumers pay at the point of sale. The specific items subject to VAT can vary by country and jurisdiction.
