How UK VAT works
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax applied to most goods and services in the UK. The standard rate of 20% applies to most items. The reduced rate of 5% applies to certain items like domestic fuel, children's car seats, and sanitary products. The zero rate of 0% applies to items like most food, children's clothing, and books. Businesses registered for VAT must charge VAT on their sales and can reclaim VAT on their purchases.

VAT registration threshold
As of 2026, a UK business must register for VAT if its taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period. Businesses can also voluntarily register below this threshold, which may be beneficial if you can reclaim VAT on your business purchases. Once registered, you must charge VAT on your sales and submit VAT returns to HMRC, typically quarterly.
