VAT explanation for the layman (or laywoman!) HELP!

Ok, so those who know me know I'm math challenged! 



Adding up things is not my cup of tea! 

And my mathematician wont be going on the trip!!




The one thing that puzzles me is this VAT thing....Can anyone explain this VAT thing in simple terms? 

I'm definitely going to do some shopping and hitting a pub or two. An extra 13% (or 9% per the recent announcement for Hotels/Restaurants) will add up on my credit card....and though I may get the cash back upon exiting that extra percentage is still on the plastic!!!   Hey! If we cash in at the airport do we get Dollars or Euros???

So if anyone has suggestions as to how to make this as painless as possible please reply and let us know!
Thanks!!
