VAT stands for which of the following?

Explanation:
Value Added Tax is the tax on the value added at each stage of production or distribution, collected by businesses for the government. This means as a product passes from raw materials to finished goods, each stage adds value and the tax is applied to that added value, making it a consumption-based indirect tax. The other options don’t describe this idea: a tariff is an import duty, “Variable Addition Tax” isn’t a standard term, and “Value Added Taxation” isn’t the correct name for the scheme.
