a charge to uk v80 arises when a taxable
[52]
supply
[53]
of goods and services is made in the uk
[55]
by a taxable person
[57]
the term person can apply to an
[59]
individual sole trader a partnership
[60]
a limited company llp or any other body
[63]
that supplies goods and services in the
[65]
course of business
[66]
a taxable supply is any supply of goods
[68]
and services
[69]
in the uk other than a supplier which is
[71]
specifically exempted from the ot
[74]
so a taxable supply includes standard
[76]
rated reduce rated and
[78]
zero rated
[79]
[Music]
[83]
so zero rated suppliers are by
[85]
definition a taxable supplier
[87]
why is this significant well let me
[89]
explain with an example
[91]
let's say you are a business supplying
[92]
non-luxury food such as meat and poultry
[94]
that are zero rated
[96]
each food item you sell costs 100 pounds
[98]
multiplied by a zero percent bat
[100]
which equals a hundred pounds so you are
[103]
technically charging vat just at the
[104]
zero rate
[106]
a full that invoice receipt is still
[108]
issued with your vat registration number
[109]
on it
[110]
now the beauty of zero rated supplies is
[113]
that you
[114]
can claim back any vat your business has
[116]
incurred
[117]
so for example let's say in the year
[119]
your business turned over a hundred
[121]
thousand pounds of
[122]
zero rated suppliers and it incurred
[124]
fifteen thousand pounds of vat in goods
[127]
and services in the course of business
[129]
your vat return would look something
[131]
like this
[132]
sales v80 actually collected is zero
[135]
input v80 actually incurred is fifteen
[138]
thousand pounds
[139]
so therefore a that refund of 15 000
[142]
pounds would be due to your business
[145]
it's worth noting your business will
[147]
have to be that registered in order for
[148]
the above to work
[149]
you cannot simply do this by supplying
[151]
zero rated goods without being that
[153]
registered
[155]
we've compiled a free comprehensive list
[157]
of zero-rated groups and suppliers for
[159]

[169]
generally speaking goods traded between
[171]
the uk and
[172]
eu countries are also zero rated subject
[176]
to conditions
[177]
exports of goods from the uk to non-eu
[179]
countries can also be zero rated again
[182]
subject to various conditions to get
[184]
more information on this you can refer
[186]
to vat notice 703
[188]
through the link below in the
[189]
description box it's quite technical but
[191]
definitely educational and
[193]
straight from the horse's mouth hmrc
[196]
themselves
[199]
exempt supplies are exactly what they
[201]
suggest exempt from uk vat
[204]
they are not classified as a taxable
[206]
supply and therefore if your business
[208]
makes exclusively exempt suppliers
[210]
the suppliers are not subject to vat at
[213]
all at any rate
[214]
however your business cannot register
[216]
for vat regardless of your turnover
[218]
level
[218]
if it is only making exempt supplies
[222]
now if your business makes any
[223]
combination of exempt standard zero
[225]
rated
[226]
and reduced suppliers then we strongly
[228]
suggest you speak to a trustworthy
[229]
accountant
[230]
as this is where things get rather
[231]
complex and you will most likely need a
[233]
vit evaluation
