VAT and your corner shop
The shop by me has a sign at the checkout saying "due to the VAT rising from 17.5% to 20% all marked prices will have the extra added at the till" something like that.
Pkt of Rizla papers was 33p last week 40p today. nothing to do with VAT I expect.
I bet they add the 2.5% on top of the current total.

Re: VAT and your corner shop
If it was purely VAT then it would now be 34p.

Re: VAT and your corner shop
They were saying a lot of companies were going to use the VAT increase to hike prices...

Re: VAT and your corner shop
By my maths he's added another 20% on top of the already VAT inclusive price. so does that mean it's actually 37.5% VAT on top instead of 20%?
28p + 17.5% (5p) = 33p
33p + 20% (7p) = 40p
You thieving little..

Re: VAT and your corner shop
Original price - 33p, which means (rounded) 28p without VAT, and 5p VAT.
New price (assuming same base VATless price) - 40p, which means (rounded) 28p without VAT, and 12p VAT, which works out to a VAT rate of 43%

Re: VAT and your corner shop
If they are the standard size ( i.e. not kingsize  ) then the RRP is 25p.
Typically that would give the retailer a margin of over 40% from a cost price ex-VAT of under £12.00 for 100.

Re: VAT and your corner shop
LOL Tesco sell them for 25p each or 5 pks for £1.02!
Seriously if I buy 2 pks a week, that will be £41.60 a year or £20.40 a year.
or if you're really stingy £13 a year from the poundshop
