VAT – or Value Added Tax – is a tax charged on most goods and services in the UK.

There are three rates of VAT which are applied to goods and services. Standard Rate (20%), Reduced Rate (5%) and Zero Rated (0%. Items may also be exempt (or ‘outside the scope’) of VAT (a 0% VAT rate means you can still reclaim costs in your VAT return, but with a VAT-exempt item you can't).
