Change on January 4th

According to the HM Revenue & Customs any sales of standard-rated goods or services made on or after January 4, 2011 must be charged VAT at the 20% rate.

The good news is that the change only applies to the standard VAT rate. Zero-rated VAT, reduced-rated VAT and VAT exemptions are unaffected by this change.

At HM Revenue and Customs you can find more information about the new VAT rules.
