Prices - VAT?

"Our Professional service starts from as little as £20.50 pcm� (£17.83+VAT) including 2GB peak download allowance, so can easily be used by more demanding home users. "

I'm confused on the prices listed. The "�" symbol(after the 20.50 pcm) is supposed to mean that the £20.50 is VAT exclusive, meaning 15% should be added on yes?

Can anyone confirm what the prices should be? Are the prices quoted inclusive or exclusive of VAT?

Prices include VAT unless otherwise stated. � price based on VAT exclusive amount. � price based on VAT inclusive amount.

Yes, I already know that thanks.

Yet the quote I provided there shows what appears to be the VAT exclusive amount (20.50), but then they show that it's a VAT inclusive amount by showing another exclusive amount.

Professional from £20.50 pcm� (£17.83+VAT)

But I thought that '�' meant exclusive amount. ie, it doesn't include VAT. So, 20.50 doesn't include VAT.

If you click on the '�' you get the explanation below. £20.50 is what you would pay.

VAT exclusive prices.
Some of the prices on the web site are prices based on a VAT exclusive price. This means that if the VAT rate should change then the VAT exclusive price does not change.

For example, if we say something is £10.00 exclusive VAT and this is based on a VAT exclusive price then if there is a VAT rate change then the price remains £10.00 exclusive VAT.

If you are a VAT registered customer the effect would be no change to the amount you ultimately pay as you can reclaim the VAT at the prevailing rate. For example at 17.5% the above is £10.00+£1.75 VAT making £11.75, and at 15% the above would be £10.00+£1.50 VAT making £11.50.

Where we quote a price on the web site that is VAT inclusive but is based on a VAT exclusive price we have a link to this page next to the price to make it clear that the price quoted is based on the VAT exclusive price and the prevailing VAT rate and so would change in the event of a VAT rate change.
