Understanding VAT for UK trades
Value Added Tax (VAT) is charged on most goods and services when you are VAT registered. Use this calculator for quick conversions on quotes and invoices.
Common UK rates
- 20% (standard) — most building, plumbing, and electrical work
- 5% (reduced) — some energy-saving materials and qualifying residential work
- 0% (zero-rated) — certain new builds and qualifying supplies
Registration is generally required when taxable turnover exceeds the HMRC threshold. Consumers are usually quoted prices including VAT; business customers often see ex-VAT figures they can reclaim.
