VAT Increase Question

Hi,

Will the VAT increase increase the number of greens needed for some gifts? A 2.5% increase might not be much on smaller gifts but on bigger?

I noticed prices went up on the Apple UK site today :s

Thanks!

Nope - well sort of - FJ are VAT registered so they claim it back anyway for most items.

It will only result in an increase on customs for which they aren't issued a VAT invoice. But I think as it is so small and they rounded the figures down anyway it won't change a thing.

They used to be the same at 17.5% anyway before the decrease so things will not change.
