The UK charges VAT at a standard 20%, a reduced 5% on items such as domestic energy and children's car seats, and 0% zero-rating on most food, books and children's clothing.
A full VAT invoice must show your GB VAT registration number, a unique sequential number, the tax point date, a per-line description with its VAT rate, and the total VAT payable.
