If you’ve answered ‘yes’ then don’t worry, you’re not alone … even the VAT officers find printing confusing!
VAT on print is without doubt a minefield.
Sadly, here at Kall Kwik we don’t make the rules regarding VAT; if we did then the world of printing would indeed be a simpler place for everyone!
If you are unsure about what attracts VAT on print and what is VAT free then please do contact us for some advice … Before the start of your printing project. I say that for the very good reason that it could mean the difference of paying or not paying a whopping 20% extra!
And, do remember that if you are a small business, Charity or in Financial Services then you might not be able to reclaim the VAT.
As I said at the outset it is a complicated area, but here are some simple rules that may help you …
- All stationery items (Letterheads, Business Cards, Compliment Slips etc.) are subject to VAT
- Advertising material (Leaflets, Flyers etc.) is generally exempt, but any tear off portion or area that needs to be filled in by the recipient is subject to VAT
- Books are generally exempt along with Newsletters and Brochures
- Ring Binders, Tabbed Dividers and Point of Sale material are subject to VAT
- Banner Stands, Outdoor Banners and Pop up Stands are all subject to VAT
There are also some rules regarding the use of personalised material …. If you need help, please do contact us, we’re here to help you …
