Sorry my PC crashed!
I thought it was weird when I posted the charges as Data roaming isn't available in Cuba...

Presumably it only states international roaming and doesn't show the providing network. It's a long time since I had any roaming charges so I've forgotten how it shows on the bill.

Since 01 Nov, VAT is now applied on usage outside of the EU. This explains the increased price.
O2 doesn't make any more money on this.
£6.00 (old data rate) + 20% VAT = £7.20.

So yet again the wealthy tax dodgers ruin it for everyone!
The change is being made now because there is evidence that the ‘use and enjoyment’ rule is being exploited by businesses to argue that tax isn’t due on certain supplies of mobile telecommunication services within the UK. Making this change counters a threat to about £1 billion of revenue.
