What £475 looks like with and without VAT
£475 sits in the range of a typical supplier invoice, a software subscription paid annually, or a day of someone else's time. If you receive an invoice for £475 plus VAT, the total to pay is £570.00 and the £95.00 of VAT goes in box 4 of your return as input tax, provided the supplier is VAT registered and the invoice shows their number.
If instead £475 is the amount that already includes VAT, the net is £395.83 and the VAT element is £79.17. That split matters for your bookkeeping: the net goes to the expense category and the VAT to your VAT control account. At 5% the VAT inside £475 would be only £22.62, which is why energy bills for a home office show a much smaller tax line than a trade supplier does.
For your own sales, charging £475 net means invoicing £570.00 at the standard rate. Many freelancers price in round net figures and let the VAT sit on top, so the customer sees £475 as the fee and £95.00 as tax they can usually reclaim if they are registered themselves. If your customers are consumers who cannot reclaim, the £570.00 is what they compare against competitors, so it pays to decide which number you are quoting.
