Explanation
When a UK VAT registered business sells goods to an EU VAT registered business, it must charge VAT at zero rate or 0%. This means that no VAT is added to the price of the goods.

The zero rate allows for the free movement of goods within the EU and promotes trade between member states by eliminating the burden of VAT on cross-border transactions.
