Common questions

How do I take VAT out of a price?

Divide the price including VAT by 1.2 for 20% VAT (or 1.05 for 5%). The difference is the VAT. For example, £120 including VAT is £100 plus £20 VAT.

When do I have to register for VAT?

When your VAT taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in any rolling 12 months, or you expect it to in the next 30 days. You can register voluntarily below that.

What is the Flat Rate Scheme?

A simpler way to work out VAT for small businesses: you pay HMRC a fixed percentage of your VAT-inclusive turnover, instead of the VAT you charge less the VAT you pay.

Which building work has 5% or 0% VAT?

Some energy-saving installations, such as insulation and heat pumps in homes, are 0% until 2027. Some conversions and renovations of empty homes are 5%. New-build homes are usually 0%. Check HMRC's guidance for the job.
