OP misleads by counting VAT as both buyer and seller in his calculations, which isn’t correct. VAT is added to the total cost of the sale - so his initial sale of ‘£1200’ should be ‘£1000 + VAT’. He then (correctly) says he buys something for £600, of which £100 is VAT. https://www.gov.uk/how-vat-works

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1915540815813783938
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
