all sorted, thanks to those who tried to help

The Lightning deal price does include the VAT, as do normal prices.
The receipt breaks it down.

For example one of the "Lightning deal" orders I made yesterday.

Item price £34.99

Item Subtotal: £29.16 (this is £34.99 minus vat)
Postage & Packing: £0.00
Lightning Deal: -£8.00
Total before VAT: £22.49 (lightning deal price before vat)
VAT: £4.50
Total: £26.99 (this is the lightning deal advertised price)
Paid by Mastercard: £26.99

And this is one from a few weeks back

Item Subtotal: £52.48
Postage & Packing: £0.00
Total before VAT: £52.48
VAT: £0.51
Total: £52.99
Paid by Mastercard: £52.99

Both show the vat breakdown.

thanks, my order summery was a bit confusing as they took the discounts off different items in different places, and didn't discount postage (sorted now) so it looked like I was over charged
If I ignore amazon's calculations and work out the total I get the correct figure.

What is the individual cost of the items you bought? From what I can see the calculations are correct, the figure on the third line you say includes VAT does not.

And Nilrem is right, the Amazon advertised price does include VAT.

sorry, I edited while you were posting.

It's all sorted now, I've had a long day and wasn't thinking clearly when I first looked at it.

Is there a way to delete this thread?
