What £650 looks like with and without VAT
£650 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 £650 plus VAT, the total to pay is £780.00 and the £130.00 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 £650 is the amount that already includes VAT, the net is £541.67 and the VAT element is £108.33. 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 £650 would be only £30.95, 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 £650 net means invoicing £780.00 at the standard rate. Many freelancers price in round net figures and let the VAT sit on top, so the customer sees £650 as the fee and £130.00 as tax they can usually reclaim if they are registered themselves. If your customers are consumers who cannot reclaim, the £780.00 is what they compare against competitors, so it pays to decide which number you are quoting.
