VAT – zero rated vs exempt#AskAMS

Zero-rated VAT is applied to things like food, children’s clothes, and books etc. Also if selling abroad, say to the US, your goods will be Zero-rated.

If you are VAT registered, you can reclaim the VAT on your overheads and costs related to those zero rated sales – i.e. machines to make children’s clothes. VAT Exempt sales covers things like rent and health care insurance – and, in contrast, you cannot claim VAT back on costs relating to those VAT Exempt sales.
