VAT on Early exit fees
Options
Just got my monthly statement from utility point and it states that:
We have a cheaper tariff Just Up 19 Wk19 Direct and you
could save £99.76. Cancellation fees may apply, the tariff
may have different terms and conditions
I phoned them and they said that I could switch but I would have to pay them £30 for Gas and Electricity plus VAT. £75.50 Is that correct.

Well the maths are not correct but yes, you do pay VAT on exit fees at 20% (5% is only for fuel and standing charges).
So £60 + 20% VAT = £72
Utility Point show the exit fees on your statement without VAT so £30 per fuel then you have to add the VAT.0 -
But does UP charge Exit Fees for an internal swop ?Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0

If you are on a fixed plan we may decide not to allow you to switch to another new fixed plan with us until your current agreement term ends, or we may charge you a fee to do so – for example, if after six months of your current one year fixed plan, we launch a new fixed plan that you want to switch to, then we can decide whether or not to allow you to switch to the new plan0
