Guide

VAT on UK invoices

The standard rate of VAT in the UK is 20%. Some goods and services have a reduced rate or a zero rate, so check which one applies to what you sell.

Only VAT-registered businesses should charge VAT or show a VAT number. If you are not registered, leave VAT off your invoice. HMRC's website explains when to register and how to fill in a VAT invoice.
