VAT Free sales explained header

During our VAT Free Sale you'll still be charged VAT (as that's the law!) but the total amount you pay is as if we had not charged it. For example, if a product normally sells for £100.00 (excluding VAT) the total you normally pay is £120.00 (including VAT). When we have a VAT Free Sale, we discount the price down to £83.33 (excluding VAT) so the total you pay is £100.00 (including VAT), which is the same as the normal selling price, but without the VAT.


The VAT Free (equivalent) discount is 16.67% as it is applied to the pre-VAT price of the goods.



Please see example basket screenshots below showing the difference between an order without the VAT Free discount and the same order with the discount applied. The total amount to pay is now the same as the subtotal prior to the discount being applied.
