O2 doesn't set the VAT rate. The government does. It's been 20% for some time now, and not likely to go down any time in the near future.

Welcome to the forum Kitenkel.

One of the reasons I remain on payg.

I'm in control.

Lets not ridicule the newbies people.
Nothing wrong with a mild rant.

VAT is included on all consumer tariffs but the bill shows it broken down ex vat + vat on bill = price on website for the consumer tariff

On business tariffs vat is excluded on the tarif price but added on the bill as stated on the business tariff pages!

I understand what your saying but O2 do not have any control over the V.A.T rate that is set.

If you are a personal not business customer then the tariff that you signed up for would have included V.A.T anyway so there are no hidden charges there.

As mentioned the rate has been 20% for a while now and everything that is V.A.T liable would have gone up at the same time.
