ChatGPT Billing VAT Problem

VAT stands for Value-Added Tax. It is a consumption tax imposed on the value added to goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. The tax is levied on the final consumption of goods or services and is collected from the end consumers. Businesses act as intermediaries, collecting the tax from their customers and remitting it to the government.

VAT is a broadly-based tax that is used in many countries around the world as a significant source of government revenue. The tax rate and rules may vary from one country to another. In some countries, there may be exemptions or reduced rates for certain essential items like food and medicine.

The concept of VAT is based on the idea that businesses only pay taxes on the value they add to a product or service, rather than paying taxes on the entire sales price. This helps prevent "tax cascading," where a product is taxed multiple times at different stages of production, leading to inflated prices.

In UK, the VAT is 20%.

On the first two months, the ChatGPT charges me $24 which includes 20% VAT - but not this month. This is a bit strange.
