Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UK VAT rate?
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to certain goods (domestic energy, children's car seats, sanitary products). A zero rate (0%) applies to most food, children's clothing, books and newspapers.
How do I add 20% VAT to a price?
To add 20% VAT: multiply the net (ex-VAT) price by 1.2. For example, £100 × 1.2 = £120 including VAT. The VAT amount is £20.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
To remove 20% VAT from a gross (inc-VAT) price: divide by 1.2. For example, £120 ÷ 1.2 = £100 ex-VAT. The VAT element is £20. Alternatively, multiply the gross by 1/6 (≈ 16.667%).
What is the VAT registration threshold?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period (from April 2024). Below this threshold, registration is optional.
