Preguntas Frecuentes

What is the UK VAT rate?

The standard UK VAT rate is 20%, applying to most goods and services. A reduced rate of 5% covers domestic energy, child car seats, and certain building works. A zero rate (0%) applies to most food, children's clothing, books, and public transport.

What items are zero-rated for VAT?

Most unprocessed food, children's clothing and shoes (up to age 14), books and newspapers, public transport, prescribed medicines, and exports. Zero-rated means VAT is charged at 0% but businesses can still reclaim input VAT.

How do I remove VAT from a UK price?

Divide the VAT-inclusive price by 1.20 for standard rate items. For example, GBP 240 inclusive: ex-VAT = 240 / 1.20 = GBP 200, VAT = GBP 40. For 5% items: divide by 1.05.

What is the VAT registration threshold?

Businesses must register for VAT when taxable turnover exceeds GBP 90,000 in a rolling 12-month period (threshold raised from GBP 85,000 in April 2024). Voluntary registration below this threshold is possible and allows you to reclaim input VAT.

Is VAT charged on food in the UK?

Most food is zero-rated (0% VAT) in the UK, including bread, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk, and tea. However, hot takeaway food, restaurant meals, confectionery, crisps, ice cream, and alcoholic drinks are standard-rated at 20%.

What is the difference between zero-rated and exempt?

Zero-rated supplies have 0% VAT but the business can reclaim VAT on related purchases. Exempt supplies have no VAT but the business CANNOT reclaim input VAT. Financial services and education are exempt. Food and children's clothing are zero-rated.

Can tourists get a VAT refund in the UK?

The UK VAT Retail Export Scheme ended on 1 January 2021 after Brexit. Tourists visiting the UK can no longer claim VAT refunds on purchases made in British shops, unlike many EU countries that still offer tax-free shopping.
