T-Mobile VAT charges....
Hello all.
As far as I'm aware, the quoted prices on T-Mobile's website for their tariffs include VAT. So a £25p/m contract includes the VAT and stays at that amount.
I am getting charged VAT on top of the £25, bringing my bill closer to £30.....is this the case for anyone else? Am I wrong about VAT being included in price?
Many thanks.

Your monthly plan charges £12.77
New charges this month outside plan £0.00
Your new balance £12.77
VAT charged at 17.5% on £12.77 £2.23
Amount due £15.000 -
It is a domestic acc ? and not a business, business acc's are always exvat??0

It's a normal account, not a business one.....seems I am being ripped off....
I also took insurance from them when I did the contract but there is no mention of that on my account, I haven't been charged for it as far as I'm aware and I've had no letters from them about it....0 -
Is it the first month?
You can get a higher bill in month one as it can be longer than a single month as they sync you to the billing cycle ?0 -
Pretty sure it is month two now, however the standard tariff charge is listed as 50p more than what it costs.....very strange.
I am going to email them I think to clear it up, just wanted to know if anyone else had VAT problems.
Thanks all....0 -
Is your mobile a Blackberry by any chance?Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.0

Oh, that beggers up that theory then!.
I had a blackberry a while back and as these are targetted at business users rather than joe soap, I noticed that a lot of the price packages were plus VAT rather than Including VAT as plus VAT is how business sell to other businesses.
But if it's a Desire, then looks like a bit of sneaky pricing from TMobile.Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.0 -
On their site it cleary states
"All prices on this page include 17.5% VAT"
Its most likely just an error rather than "sneaky pricing" all my contracts with them are charged at the correct rate.0 -
