Inclusive VAT

HI

Just a quick query

If a contract states a total price for work to be done INCUSIVE of VAT, does that mean the price includes the VAT or is extra to the totsl price?
Thanks

    I think it means its already included. I am sure it would say "total price + VAT" if it was not already in there. Also makes me think of an "all inclusive" holiday where everything is included.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong though!

    Inclusive means inclusive(ie: included). I am tempted to ask if you are a blonde. Sorry, couldn't resist it!!
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    There's no such thing as a daft question. Be nice to all moneysavers.

    If it wasn't included it would be "exclusive of VAT".
