From Every Invoice to VAT Return — Without the Stress

If you're VAT-registered, every invoice needs to show the right VAT breakdown. Experi handles this automatically — standard rate, reduced rate, zero rate, exempt, and domestic reverse charge. The VAT report summarises all output tax across any date range so your returns are straightforward.

Key Benefits

🧾

Correct VAT on Every Invoice

Set VAT rate per line item — 20%, 5%, 0%, exempt, or reverse charge. Experi calculates the tax, shows the breakdown on the invoice, and records it correctly.

VAT Report for Any Period

Filter your VAT report by date range. See total output VAT by rate category. Download as a PDF or spreadsheet for your accountant or HMRC.

Frequently Asked Questions

What VAT rates does Experi support?

Standard rate (20%), reduced rate (5%), zero rate (0%), exempt, outside scope, and domestic reverse charge. Each line item can have its own rate.

Does Experi integrate with HMRC Making Tax Digital?

Experi produces the VAT report totals you need for your return, but direct MTD submission is handled by your accountant or accounting software. Experi makes it easy for them by providing accurate, formatted reports.

I use CIS — does VAT work correctly alongside CIS deductions?

Yes. CIS deductions and VAT are calculated separately and displayed correctly on the invoice. Domestic reverse charge VAT also works correctly alongside CIS.
