Email just come in from Screwfix, they are holding the prices at the old VAT rate, until the end of January.
They probably haven't had chance to update their catalogue, they have a new one out today... The cost of this VAT change is costing industry millions, lost money just to change the prices, literature, Catalogues etc think about Argos and the like. I wonder where these costs will be passed onto as well...  Even Pound stretcher and the £1 shops are keeping their prices at £1 Otherwise they will have to call themselves £1.02 1/2p saver... But we got rid of the 1/2 p a long time ago.....  What a farce.... AGAIN.... Will Bad debts not paid by today incurr VAT at the old rate..... I assume it will. Quite a nightmare for accountants, and they have the year end to adjust the figures.... April 5th Oh Joy.... At least they will have Easter to recover.

Question for you all then!!!
You know some of us are in volunteer services such as RAYNET or 4x4 Response, well are we just subsidising the government out of our own pockets? Jim |

Although I do volunteer my time happily  However these services are now doing what the police, ambulance and fire brigade did themselves in the past. Trouble is various cost cutting etc has cast out many fringe benefits like the police owning their own 4 x 4 trucks  or the ambulances having the odd 4x4 bit of kit etc
