UK VAT rates explained
The standard rate of 20% applies to most goods and services. A reduced rate of 5% applies to some items, such as domestic energy. A zero rate of 0% applies to certain goods, like most food and children's clothes.
Zero-rated vs VAT-exempt
These are often confused but aren't the same thing. Zero-rated supplies are still within the VAT system, just charged at 0%, and businesses must still record them on their VAT return. Exempt supplies (like some financial services or insurance) sit outside the VAT system entirely.
