Understanding VAT

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a tax imposed by the government on most goods and services in the UK. It is calculated as a percentage of the total cost of the product or service. The current VAT rate in the UK is 20%, and it is a legal requirement for companies to display the VAT amount on their invoices.

VAT is applicable to skip hire services, and customers are required to pay it, regardless of whether you are a business or an individual hiring a skip for personal use.

How Is VAT Calculated?

The VAT is calculated as 20% of the total cost of your skip hire service. For example, if your skip hire service costs 100, VAT will be 20. In total, you'll pay 120 for the service.

How To Check If You Are Paying The Right Price

When looking for skip hire services, it's essential to avoid paying too much for your skip hire. To achieve this, you need to make sure that you check the prices from different companies and compare the costs.

At Skip Hire Kent, we provide competitive pricing and are always happy to give an upfront price before the skip hire service is provided. We also have a price match guarantee, so you can rest assured that you are never overpaying for your skip hire service.

Something To Check Before Booking

Before you book a skip hire service, it's essential to check if the company you are using is VAT registered. If they do not display a VAT registration number or charge VAT on their invoices, you might be at risk of using an unregistered company.
