Welcome here!
The usual place for such questions is the gnucash-devel list, but
perhaps other readers have also the desire to improve their templates.
So let's keep it for now here.

Perhaps we should remove it from the docs or make more clear that it is
only a demo?

Because it is a localization task, I feel responsible for the templates
in general. The UK VAT template existed before I joined the project and
got in that time only general formal maintenance, no updates of content.

The only GB specific, probably related page in the wiki is
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GB/PAS_76

Perhaps also Chris can help you with his knowledge about anglo-saxon tax
report rules.

That is OK, but as for us it is less work you should try to start with
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Simple_Pull_Request

The starting point then probably should be a britsch version of
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/glossary/en/
Let me know, if it is desired.
