Platform: iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
Cost: Free

VAT Toolbox helps with calculating the Value Added Tax on any given purchase. The app comprises a VAT calculator as well as a Euro VAT ID validator.

The calculator tells you how much VAT would be added to the cost of items you?re looking to purchase, as well as telling you the amount of VAT if it?s already been added on to the price. VAT rates for all EU member states are included.

The VAT ID validator helps you to guard against VAT fraud by helping you to check if a VAT number is valid. Simply select the desired EU country and enter the VAT number you would like to check, and the app will quickly confirm if the VAT number is valid, and even shows you the registered name and address. The results can then be exported to your photo album, or in the form of a pdf.

And don?t forget, if saving money is a priority to check out our earlier post, (link: http://www.lendingstream.co.uk/blog/money-saving-apps-for-uk-ios-users-part-i/) and as always, if you have come across a personal finance app that you find useful, please share in our comments.
