get a cut?

Type anything you're printing. We'll tell you if it's 0% or 20% VAT, and why. Call it whatever you like.

Why this exists

Some print is 0% VAT, some is 20%, and the rules are about what a thing is, not what you call it. Other checkers only know HMRC's exact wording. This one knows what people actually say.

Always up to date

We check HMRC's guidance every day. If the rules change, this site says so at the top of every page until every answer has been reviewed.
