A quick primer
Zero-rated goods (like most food and children's clothes) are still technically "taxable supplies" at 0% — they count toward your £90,000 VAT registration threshold, and you can reclaim VAT on related costs. Exempt supplies (like insurance and finance) are outside the VAT system entirely — they don't count toward the threshold, and you generally can't reclaim VAT on related costs.
Switch to "Remove VAT (gross → net)" above and enter the VAT-inclusive price. At the standard 20% rate, the calculation divides the gross amount by 1.2 to get the net figure, then the difference is the VAT.
Your total taxable turnover — both standard-rated and zero-rated sales — measured on a rolling 12-month basis (not your tax year or calendar year). VAT-exempt sales don't count. You must register within 30 days of exceeding £90,000, or immediately if you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days alone.
It can make sense if most of your customers are VAT-registered businesses (they can reclaim the VAT you charge, so your prices stay competitive) and you want to reclaim VAT on your own costs. It's usually less attractive if you sell mainly to the public, since your prices effectively rise by the VAT rate.
Standard rate 20%, reduced rate 5%, zero rate 0%. VAT registration threshold £90,000, deregistration threshold £88,000, both measured on a rolling 12-month basis and unchanged since April 2024. Last verified against HMRC and GOV.UK publications: July 2026. Always confirm current figures at gov.uk before making registration decisions — this tool is for general guidance, not personal tax advice.
