VAT on Print – 5 Simple tips on what is and isn’t Vatable

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

You’re confused? Don’t worry, you’re not alone, even the VAT officers find printing confusing. VAT on print can be a minefield but here at The Printing House (Print Buying Direct) we don’t make the rules regarding VAT, but if you’re unsure, then give one of our print professionals a call today (0870 950 8444), as some advice before the start of a project could mean the difference of paying or not paying VAT. Also if you are a small business or Charity then you may not be able to reclaim the VAT.

Here are some simple rules that may help you.

  1. All stationery items (letterheads, business cards, compliment slips etc) are subject to VAT
  2. Posters under A3 in size are exempt, but A3 and over are subject to VAT
  3. Advertising material (Leaflets, Flyers, Postcards etc) is generally exempt, but any tear off portion or area that needs to be filled in by a recipient is subject to VAT
  4. Books are generally exempt along with Newsletters and Brochures
  5. Ring binders, Tabbed Dividers and Point of Sale (Shelf Wobblers, Shelf Talkers etc) are subject to VAT

Remember, with the Chancellor reducing VAT to 15% there has never been a better time to order your print.
