Does The Income Statement Include Vat

My reading of the guidance notes on the simpler income tax cash basis rules are that you have to include figures receipts or payments inclusive of vat and also include as receipts payments the vat repayment payment.
Does the income statement include vat. Does vat will be included in the income statement. It has no bearing on your income profit etc. Vat is just a tax that you collect for govrnment. If it is not recoverable by the business as input tax it is an expense that increases the cost of the inputs to the business and so must be included in the income cost statement.
