    £63 because it is £50 after the 20%

    VAT on £50 is £10 so £60.

    Good morning
    Does anyone know how much fishcakes are in m&s? There's £1 off on sparks card I have a feeling they are often on offer 2 for £3 but I dont suppose that will be on at the same time.
    It just let me use the dress offer twice......but not a third time :D

    I am going to try and get one of these today dh mate said it's good and a cracking offer

    It's out of stock on line but my nearest store has stock.
    I've got £10.50 in club card vouchers and I think for the first time in years I'm going to use them in store. I just wish I had a conditional spend coupon too but hey ho!

    I can't bear this pad any longer I have to edit every post and I send some outrageous messages. I can't remember what it was now but I once messaged BQ and had to apologise quickly once she pointed out my error......that will bug me now u til I remember what it was.

    I've never seen the fishcakes not on the 2 for £3 offer but I think the t&c's say it's 1 x £1 off per transaction - still, 2 for £2 isn't bad

    Off out for cafe rouge 241 breakfast with DD :D

    sounds good

    http://www.caferouge.com/offers

    Its a pity the £9.95 bundle is not included, from the website I cant see how much the standard breakfast is.

    I've got Bella Italia gift vouchers which I think are also valid in Caf! rouge

    Yes but an instore price of £60 including VAT of 20% works out at £12 VAT, £48 item

    I said to QCo, we do not normally shop in stores 'plus VAT', we shop with VAT already included in the item.

    They have now replied and said I must wait till the order goes confirmed, then they'll see...

    This morning's £5 spend has tracked as a spend of £4.17. No rhyme or reason...

    I need an accountant.

    Is anyone else not getting emails through for Argos reservations? It doesn't matter as such, I have the text, but just seems strange. And I have checked my blocked senders list. And I get the "how did we do" emails afterwards.

    Then they are getting it wrong.

    VAT on £48 is £9.60!

    I type the invoices for our business, VAT is 20%, therefore to get £50 before VAT it has to be minimum of £60. If they are telling you otherwise then you need to complain.

    It's tracked that way because £5 less VAT is £4.17

    If you have the total spend and want to work out the VAT - just divide it by 6. If you then want to work out the net times the VAT by 5

    The VAT on a £60 paid item is £10, (the way you are working it is if the net is £60, that VAT is £12 and you would pay £72 to the shop)

    (from an accountant :D)
