    ordering notepads 59p & free gift - why is my VAT 60p? is there vat on the postage too? surely it's still wrong?

    is that right? (my maths is rubbish but 60p vat on a 59p purchase seems a bit much!)yes i do know it's still a cheap cd player but that's not the point, b4 anyone says!

    Yes Vat is added after the postage.

    £3.44 + 17.5% = £4.042

    I think it always happens, therefore they can claim the vat back on the postage too.

    Thanks Op grabbed 1
