What are the VAT rates for different goods and services?

There are three VAT rates: standard rate (20%), reduced rate (5%) and zero rate (0%). VAT is not charged for exempt or out of scope items, and the standard rate applies to most goods and services. Refer to HMRC's resource for further information on what VAT you should charge based on the type of goods or services you provide.
