Common questions
How do I take VAT out of a price?
Divide the price with VAT by 1.2 for the 20% rate. £120 divided by 1.2 is £100, so the VAT is £20. Dividing by 1.05 does the same at 5%.
Who has to register for VAT?
GOV.UK says businesses must register if their VAT taxable turnover is more than £90,000. They can also register voluntarily below that.
What are the VAT rates?
GOV.UK lists three: standard 20% on most goods and services, reduced 5% on some, for example children’s car seats and home energy, and zero 0% on some, for example most food and children’s clothes.
