Quidco have their bonus offer on again spend £6 and get £2.50 bonus cashback - useful for getting loo paper from Wilko
(£its £6 to include vat) but don't include delivery
It would also be useful for anyone getting £5s from marks
If you want to spend £5 excluding VAT I think you'd have to spend £6.25 total.0 -

I thought vat was 20% - has it changed ???
My £6 shops from the other weekend have tracked as have the bonus????“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

It's definitely still 20%. 20% of £5 is £1. However 20% of £6 would be £1.20, which would make the shop £4.80 excluding VAT. I hope that makes sense! And I also hope I haven't got it very wrong ;-).
In the Ts&Cs it doesn't say it's £5 excluding VAT so that's probably why your cashback has tracked anyway.0 -
Oh wait......I've got it all wrong. You add 20% to the base price. What a numpty. How embaressing.

So, in an effort to make up for my complete failure at understanding how VAT works above, I'd like to draw your attention to free Fruit-tella sweets:
