Frequently Asked Questions
Multiply the net amount by 0.20. For example, if the net price is £100, the VAT is £20 and the gross price is £120. To remove VAT from a gross amount, divide it by 1.20.
The net amount is the price before VAT is added. The gross amount is the final price the customer pays, which includes VAT. The difference between net and gross is the VAT amount.
If you are VAT-registered, you can reclaim the VAT you pay on business purchases (input VAT) against the VAT you charge customers (output VAT). You pay HMRC the difference each quarter via a VAT return.
In the UK, you must register for VAT when your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period (as of 2024). You can also voluntarily register below this threshold, which can be beneficial if your customers are VAT-registered businesses.
