    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.

    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.
  • Oh wait......I've got it all wrong. You add 20% to the base price. What a numpty. How embaressing. :o:o:o

  • 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:

    Thanks Mhoc - trying for September/October to try & see Northern Lights
    Jane McDonald did a cruise round the Isle of Mull, I think it's great idea if you have good sea legs but I don't ever think i'll get on a boat again after a bad experience. You can watch the episode here:
