what?

Is It Vatable? is a simple online tool to help people find out if printed items need to have VAT applied or not. Just pop your item in the search box and let the tool do the rest.

why?

In the UK some items are vatable and some are not. It's never straightforward, until now. Using this tool will mean fewer incorrect invoices, credit notes and less head scratching.

who?

If you're a printer maybe you want to share this with the people and agencies you work with. If you manage print production for clients then this tool is for you too.
