    ^ An example.

    Today:
    You buy a TV for £400 on the highstreet - the £400 already includes VAT @ 17.5% (£59.58)

    From Monday:
    You buy the same TV for £400 on the highstreet - the £400 already includes VAT @ 15% (£52.17)

    The customer still pays the same.

    Where it gets difficult is in this scenario:
    You run a hotel, a guest is staying from today until Friday next week and has paid in advance. The price they've been charged was £100 per night excluding VAT. Now that is tough.

    • of course....Laurent
    • the tv won't be 400 quid it will be £340.43p + VAT which will be £391.49mimeartist_com
