]]> Comment on Are you discounting for the VAT decrease..? by admin http://www.callowaygreen.com/blog/2008/11/27/are-you-discounting-for-the-vat-decrease/#comment-227 admin Tue, 02 Dec 2008 10:32:19 +0000 http://www.callowaygreen.com/blog/?p=109#comment-227 Yes you can, but that won't give you the full picture. When dealing with greater discounts in the stores plus rounded up figures it doesn't really matter about a couple of fractions of percent, however your poor accountant will have a headache if totting up at the end of the year, especially if you have a large turnover. The only *accurate* way to work out VAT is to add it to the gross amount. Yes you can, but that won’t give you the full picture.

Although this is a relatively small amount, it could amount to significant losses for small businesses when added to the additional administrative and resource costs for making these changes (twice). Then there's the probable hike to a higher rate of 18.5% (plus) which needs to be accounted for going forward. I will certainly pass on the message and hope that others will do the same. Many thanks.

However, comments may be a different matter. These are apparently seen by everyone so people could make positive/derogatory comments about companies and these would make their way into the public domain.

Surely larger/richer companies could employ 'comsumers' to rate their site en mass. Where does this leave us small businesses? at the bottom I suspect. This is worrying news.
