VAT Rates

Pipeline supports common UK VAT rates:

  • 20% - Standard rate
  • 5% - Reduced rate
  • 0% - Zero rate or VAT exempt

Default VAT Rate

Your company's default VAT rate can be configured in Company Settings under VAT Settings.

Per-Item VAT

Each line item on a quote can have its own VAT rate. This allows you to mix standard-rated and zero-rated items on the same quote.

How Totals Are Calculated

For each line item:

  1. Line Total = Quantity x Unit Price
  2. VAT Amount = Line Total x VAT Rate / 100

For the quote:

  1. Subtotal = Sum of all line totals
  2. VAT Total = Sum of all VAT amounts
  3. Grand Total = Subtotal + VAT Total

Entering Prices

All prices are entered in pounds. Pipeline stores values internally in pence for accuracy but displays them in pounds.
