Quote: Update: actually, I just realised I was being a bit unfair in the second case. The prices quoted in the Welcome Letter are exclusive of VAT. The ones shown on the "My Tarriff" page are inclusive of VAT. If you multiply the figures shown in the Welcome letter by 1.05 (so, add 5% VAT for fuel), they're the same price. Unquote
