Frequently Asked Questions
What VAT rate should I use?
The UK's standard rate has been 20% since 2011, which is the default here, but the field is fully editable, enter whatever rate genuinely applies to you.
What's the difference between the two "basis" options?
Choose "includes VAT" if the figure you're entering is what a customer actually paid, or "before VAT" if it's your own net price before tax is added.
Is this a substitute for real accounting advice?
No, it's a plain arithmetic tool for a quick estimate, always confirm your actual VAT position with a real accountant or HMRC's own guidance.
