Skype credit - paying by credit card

We have just put Skype onto our PC to keep in touch with family in Canada.
I also bought £10 credit, using my Lloyds credit card to pay. But noticed this morning that I have been charged £11.50.
I can't find any information on either online statement as to why the extra £1.50 has been charged.
It's bound to be something simple, but can anyone advise?

It's the VAT on £10.
Skype prices do not include VAT but tax is charged at whatever the rate of the country from which you are paying.0 -
Many thanks - I said it would be something simple :rolleyes:0
