    The VAT also includes any VAT on calls or messages made outside of your allowance, not just your line rental. All the call costs etc. are shown minus VAT.

    OneADay and iwanttosave are correct, that total amount before VAT is line rental + outside allowance costs.

    Check your bill, somewhere in there is going to be calls/texts you are paying for. If you cant find any ring 02 customer services.

    There are two types of O2 tariffs.
    O2 consumer tariffs which are shown inclusive of vat, and ...
    O2 Business tariffs where vat is shown seperately.

    So I would assume you are on an O2 Business tariff.
