Seven worked examples
Reverse VAT, adding VAT, 20%, 5%, the flat rate scheme, working out which rate was charged, and the VAT formula each have a page of their own, opening on a worked example.
ChangelogWhat changed,
What changed,
and when.
New pages, fixes, and anything Levy got wrong, dated and newest first. Written for the people who use it rather than copied from the code.
Google Analytics removed
Until 17 September, Google Analytics could receive each page’s full address, which on Levy can hold the amounts you typed. It has gone. Visits are now counted with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and is sent the page path only.
Trade names match GOV.UK
The flat rate list now uses GOV.UK’s exact names and count: 54 published trades, plus the limited cost rate. Searching for restaurant or takeaway now finds catering, which it did not before.
Wrong figures from the custom rate box, fixed
For a few hours on launch day, typing a rate with a decimal into the custom box could give the wrong VAT: 17.5 was read as 17, and 4.5 as 45. Fixed the same evening, with a test that types each rate one key at a time, as a person does.
Levy launched
Add VAT, take it out, or work out the rate from two figures, with net, VAT and gross drawn as one bar. Rates checked against GOV.UK on 16 September.
