    Any increase that they can claim is VAT related won't be a valid reason to quit without penalty. If it's more and there is any chance that the contract doesn't cover it then they won't apply it until your minimum term is up.

    As my own contract looks like several trees worth of paper I'm not about to read it but you can be sure their corporate lawyers will have everything completely covered.
