Understanding VAT

VAT rules change, but staying compliant does not have to be complicated. We guide you through your exact requirements so you never have to guess.

How VAT Returns Work

Most VAT-registered businesses must submit VAT returns to HMRC on a regular basis. These returns show the VAT you've charged customers and the VAT you've paid on business expenses, allowing HMRC to calculate any amount owed or refundable.

Making VAT Payments

VAT payments are normally made electronically through HMRC. We'll calculate your liability accurately, remind you of important deadlines, and help ensure payments are made on time to avoid unnecessary interest or penalties.

Current UK VAT Rates

Different goods and services are subject to different VAT rates depending on UK legislation.

✦ 20% Standard Rate Applies to most goods and services supplied in the UK.
✦ 5% Reduced Rate Applies to selected items such as domestic fuel, children's car seats, and certain energy-saving materials.
✦ 0% Zero Rate Applies to qualifying goods and services, including most food, children's clothing, books, newspapers, and some public transport.

Some goods and services are exempt from VAT altogether, while others fall outside the scope of VAT. We’ll help you determine which rules apply to your business and ensure you’re using the correct treatment.
