    I take it that call charges are rounded up per call rather than just rounding up your total call charges at the end of your billing period.

    Is rounding up VAT legal?

    Yes. We round down/up on the 4/5 system.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Yes, VAT rounding up / down is perfectly legal and you don't have to be consistent either (AFAIK).

    Don't forget that Customs will get it anyway, but I wouldn't mind the extra interest that BT is surely going to get on it between VAT returns.

    So in effect BT can no longer advertise 1 hour call for 5.5p as that would be rounded to 6p? Lets wait and see....
