    Moth... the problem caused is exactly like people like yourself, through no mistake of your own I might add... take this example...

    say I have a product for £1000,

    then the price is £851.06 + VAT...

    now if I add the 2.5 percent to the price... it would be £872.35

    now if I add 15% VAT to that it is £1003.19

    So if you want to keep you're price, then you need to take the final price with original VAT, and take 15% off that... eg...

    1000 / 1.15 = 869.57 and then add 15% VAT which should bring you back to your 1000
