What is VAT?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax applied to most goods and services in the UK. Businesses registered for VAT must charge this tax on their sales and may reclaim it on eligible purchases. The standard VAT rate in the UK is 20%, but reduced rates and exemptions apply to certain products and services. Whether you’re calculating prices for your business or simply want clarity on VAT rates, understanding VAT is essential for compliance and accurate pricing.
