    As far as I'm concerned Boots & WH Smith are cheeky (insert what ever explitive you want).

    So they won't give the vat discount unless the item being purchased is over a £5 (or worse in Smith's case). Bet they claim the VAT back though.

    Still a money maker for Boots then.

    Putting the Vat claimed back into lowering prices. I wet myself laughing at that one. :D
