FAQ — VAT (UK)
What is the UK VAT rate?+
The standard rate is 20%, with a 5% reduced rate (e.g. domestic fuel) and 0% on zero-rated supplies such as most food and children's clothing. You charge output VAT on sales and reclaim input VAT on purchases.
When must I register for VAT?+
Registration is compulsory once taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12 months (threshold from 1 April 2024), or if you expect to exceed it within the next 30 days.
What is the VAT Flat Rate Scheme?+
Instead of accounting for input and output VAT separately, you pay a fixed percentage of your gross (VAT-inclusive) turnover. A 1% discount applies in the first year of registration.
What is a limited-cost trader?+
A business that spends very little on goods uses the 16.5% flat rate, which usually makes the Flat Rate Scheme less attractive than standard VAT accounting.
