What is VAT?An indirect tax

Charged on most goods and services, supplied within the UK

is borne by the final consumer

VAT is a tax that's charged on most goods and services that VAT-

registered businesses provide in the UK. It's also charged on goods and some services that are imported

from countries outside the European Union (EU), and brought into the UK

from other EU countries.

In other words….

A type of consumption tax that is placed on a product whenever value is added at a stage of production and at final sale.

The amount of VAT that the user pays is the cost of the product less any of the costs of materials used in the product that have already been taxed.

Rates of VATTaxable supplies are charged to VAT at

onf of three rates:

- Zero rate – 0%- Standard rate - 17.5% (default rate)- Reduce rate – 5%

Examples of reduced-rated itemsdomestic fuel and powerinstalling energy-saving materialssanitary hygiene productschildren's car seats

Examples of zero-rated itemsfood - but not meals in restaurants ,

hot takeaways or classed as luxury items.

books and other printed matter. (e.g. newspapers, books and maps).

children's clothes and shoespublic transport.

The difference between exempt and zero-rated

Traders making exempt supplies cannot charge VAT to their customers.

Traders making zero-rated supplies charge VAT but at 0%.
