A temporary zero rate of VAT will apply to qualifying supplies of electricity from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. With the zero rate due to take effect on 1 October 2026, affected businesses have a short period in which to complete their implementation work. Changes to VAT rates can create practical challenges, particularly where businesses need to distinguish between supplies made before and after the effective date.
