VAT & Tax on Your Invoices
This article explains how VAT and taxation are handled on Progressive Robot invoices.
UK Clients
Progressive Robot is VAT registered in the United Kingdom. All invoices to UK clients include VAT at the current standard rate (20% unless you are an eligible exempt or zero-rated organisation). Our VAT registration number is displayed on every invoice.
If your organisation is VAT-registered, you can reclaim the VAT shown on our invoices as input tax through your standard VAT return process. Retain the invoice PDF as your VAT evidence.
Non-UK Clients (International)
For clients outside the UK:
- EU clients (B2B): Services are generally zero-rated for UK VAT purposes under the place of supply rules. You may be responsible for accounting for VAT in your own country (reverse charge mechanism). Your accountant can advise.
- Non-EU international clients: No UK VAT is applied. Services are outside the scope of UK VAT.
- Your VAT/tax number: International clients should provide their local VAT or tax registration number at account setup to ensure correct invoice formatting.
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
Progressive Robot does not operate under CIS. If your project involves construction activities and you believe CIS should apply, discuss this with your Account Manager before work begins.
Invoice Queries on VAT
If you believe VAT has been applied incorrectly to your invoice, contact your Account Manager immediately. Do not withhold payment of the VAT element while a query is being investigated — instead, pay in full and we will issue a credit note if required.
