The code for entering most purchases charged without VAT is 'No UK VAT'. This is irrespective of whether the supply is zero-rated, exempt or outside the scope of VAT.

However, this does not cover medically exempt purchases which should always be entered on CUFS using the tax code ME0% (please see Medically Exempt Purchases).

For purchases from outside the UK, you may have to apply a self-charge VAT. The accounting mechanism and tax codes to use are covered in sections Purchasing Goods from the EC, Purchasing Goods from Outside the EC and Purchasing Services from Outside the UK.
