Quick answers
What is the VAT rate in the UK?
The standard rate is 20%. Some goods and services, such as home energy and children's car seats, are charged at 5%, and some, such as most food and children's clothes, at 0%.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide it by 1.2. £120 ÷ 1.2 = £100, so the VAT was £20. Taking 20% off £120 gives £96, which is wrong.
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply it by 1.2. £100 × 1.2 = £120.
