Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register for VAT in the UK?
VAT registration is mandatory if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period. You can also register voluntarily below this threshold.
What VAT rate should I charge?
Standard rate is 20% for most goods/services. Reduced 5% applies to home energy, child car seats, etc. Zero-rated includes most food, books, and children's clothes. Some services are exempt.
Can I issue an invoice without being VAT-registered?
Yes. If you're not VAT-registered, your invoice should not include VAT. Just don't add a VAT line and don't include a VAT number.
What is reverse charge VAT?
Reverse charge means the customer accounts for VAT instead of the supplier. Common in B2B services across EU borders and in the UK construction industry. Add a reverse charge note to your invoice.
