O2 £50 Credit

bigtel_2

I just got £50 credit put onto my o2 phone bill for signing up to o2 Home Broadband.

Checked my account and I received £42.55.

The text I got says 'We're giving you £50 incl. VAT off your next mobile bill to say thanks for joining o2 Home Broadband'.

Does that mean it's £50 minus the VAT?

I didn't see this when I signed up for it!

EDIT:

T&C's...

If you have a "VAT" line at the end of your bill then any charges before it will be excluding VAT. It should equate to the same thing at the end of the day, whether they show the price inclusive of VAT or not.

Ok thanks. So should I have the £50 or £50 minus VAT :question:

On my O2 bill viewed online it shows VAT total at the end of the bill. So I would assume it to be the same on yours. Therefore it should show £50 minus VAT.
