Malti bought a VCR for Rs. 19980 including VAT. If the original price of VCR be Rs. 18500, find the rate of VAT.

Selling Price = Rs.19980


Original Price = Rs.18500


VAT Amount = 19980- 18500


= Rs.1480


VAT % = (VAT Amount/Original Price) × 100


= (1480/18500) × 100


= 8%


So, Rate of VAT is 8%
