VAT Rates & What's Taxable
Which rate applies to what you sell: standard, reduced and zero rates, and the tricky mixed-supply cases.
Do I charge VAT on my financial services?
Most core financial services are exempt, not zero-rated, so you charge no VAT and cannot recover input tax. Advice, management and debt collection stay at 20%.
Is my music teaching studio VAT-exempt?
Music lessons are exempt only when an individual teacher supplies a subject ordinarily taught in a school or university. Here is where the line falls.
Do I charge VAT on sports coaching and personal training?
A self-employed coach teaching a mainstream sport can be exempt as private tuition, never through a company. Personal training and gyms are standard-rated.
