Is that according to India law, or the laws of South Carolina?

To avoid having to visit the site:

Q: Hi, do your prices include VAT? Thanks
A: We do not charge VAT.

pappa_golf

then why advertise "£xx" "incl VAT"


there prices CANNOT include VAT if they do not charge VAT

pappa_golf

we do not charge Vat


however we include VAT in the selling price

pappa_golf

therefore if you as a legitimate UK company , asked , they are obliged to disclose there VAT number to you , in order for you to reclaim the vat element


hell , the prices quoted INCLUDE VAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they aren't a UK company, and they aren't, they are outside UK law, they can make any statements they want and there isn't much that can be done. They could turn around and say VAT stands for Variable Adjustment Tariff.

The OP agreed to enter the contract as governed by the laws of South Carolina, they will have an uphill battle to get any UK authorities involved.

well ,,, I agree


now how many more lies can they tell?

A lot of people - mostly new posters - often pop up in here using words like "con" and "scam" and it turns out to be nothing of the sort.

In your case it is a shady company that me and others are happy to name and shame in the name of "money saving" and generally not letting these half baked "entrepreneurs" wheedle their way around the law, hurting legitimate businesses.

So you're welcome.
