Built for UK tradespeople

Built for UK VAT rules. Covers standard rate (20%), reduced rate (5% - typically applied to qualifying energy-saving installations and mobility aids), and zero-rated supplies. Always check HMRC guidance for edge cases - this tool gives the maths, not the rate decision.

Quick and does what it says on the tin. I use it from the van when a customer asks 'and that's including VAT, yeah?' and I want to double-check before I commit.
