What £95 looks like with and without VAT
A £95 purchase is the kind of thing that ends up as a receipt in a drawer: fuel, stationery, a parking charge, a working lunch. If the receipt shows a VAT number and the price includes VAT, then £15.83 of that £95 is tax you can reclaim on your return, leaving a net cost of £79.17. Without a valid VAT receipt you can still claim the £95 as an expense against profit, but not the VAT itself.
Working the other way, if you quote £95 before VAT and you are VAT registered, the customer pays £114.00: your £95 plus £19.00 that you collect for HMRC. At the 5% reduced rate, which applies to things like domestic energy and children's car seats, the same £95 becomes £99.75. Zero-rated items such as most food, books and children's clothing stay at £95 on the invoice, though they still count as taxable sales.
The 20% figures catch people out because the VAT inside a gross price is not 20% of the price. It is 20% of the net, which works out at 16.67% of the gross. So £95 including VAT contains £15.83, not £19.00. Keep that in mind when you are checking a till receipt or splitting a shared bill between personal and business use.
