isn't it? didn't know that! How come every other garage bill you get does? (obviously if the garage is VAT registered!!)

Llanigraham:
Been looking at this for our shop, and according to 1 expert we will have to reduce our prices on the goods that do attract VAT by 2.1%. Well sorry but we will be using 2%.


Wooppee, an extra 0.1% profit!!!!!

on the radio earlier they were saying a chocy bar will come down by 2p and a £100 item will come down to £95. Not really a huge saving but all adds up I suppose! :roll:

It's the test that is zero rated for VAT. The rest of the garage services are VATable.

Their maths is a little poor, isn't it? An item costing £100, including VAT, now would be £97.88 with 15% instead of 17.5%. And to my reckoning, a 40p sweet will loose less than a penny!
