Quoted VAT included in price but not VAT registered

There could be a more simple explanation and one to worry less about in that it could be that the buyer was trying to ascertain if the price quoted was the final price and that there wasn't going to be a higher price on a final invoice?

As the buyer is VAT registered, I would suggest the buyer more likely wanted to know the price exc. Vat as that is presumably what the buyer accounts for.

Put another way, as the buyer is VAT registered, they presumably don't care what added VAT, if any, is added to the final invoice.

I put at the bottom of my invoices and quotations that "I am not registered for VAT and do not charge VAT". I made this up myself and I am sure that there are others ways of expressing it. My clients include non-business clients so that is why I put "I do not charge VAT" as well as "I am not registered for VAT"
