Tax and registration in United Kingdom
VAT in United Kingdom is administered by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), and it is worth confirming your current obligations there rather than relying on a figure stored in any software — rates and registration thresholds change.
If you are registered, show VAT as a separate line on every waybill and include your VAT number. If you are not registered, do not add VAT — collecting tax you cannot remit is a compliance problem rather than a formatting choice.
Businesses trading in United Kingdom are normally incorporated or registered through Companies House. Quoting your registration number alongside your VAT number tends to speed up approval with corporate and government customers, who often will not process a waybill without both.
