I was hoping someone could help before i get on the phone to o2. I recently upgraded my contract (November 2010) and have noticed that i am being charged for my monthly contract (£35/month) and my calls and messages (outside my allowances) and then being charged VAT on top of this. I can understand being charged VAT on the calls and messages but not on the contract fee. I always thought that if i agreed to a £35 a month contract that it would include VAT and not be added on afterwards. I have a personal contract and not business and never use it for business.
Is this right or am i being charged incorrectly and is this happening to anyone else???
Thanks in advance.
Rob.

If you check your bill you will see that your £35 contract is actually £29.79 plus vat. This is what makes it £35. As in this copy and paste from an old bill of my own
My tariffs - O2 35 on Smart Phone 24 Month : 06 Feb 10 - 05 Mar 10 29.79
Of course it is now £35.75 thanks to that nice Mr Cameron.

Just watch these boards. Lol
Consider it as practice for when iphone 5 is released. I'll reserve you a seat at the bar for that annual festival of whining
