Is VAT Included in the Price of a Carpet Cleaning Service?

When booking a professional carpet cleaning service, it’s important to understand what’s included in the price, especially when it comes to VAT (Value Added Tax). This can affect the final amount you pay and help you compare services more accurately.


Is VAT Usually Included?

In the UK, some carpet cleaning companies include VAT in their advertised prices, while others list prices excluding VAT, which is added at checkout. If VAT is not clearly stated, it’s a good idea to ask for clarification before booking to avoid surprises on your invoice.

  • Inclusive VAT pricing means the amount you see is the total you’ll pay.
  • Exclusive VAT pricing will have an extra 20% added at the end.

For residential customers, VAT-inclusive pricing is usually more straightforward, while commercial clients may be able to reclaim VAT, depending on their business setup.
