Scottish Power Smart Meter Tariff Costs Exclude VAT

Ultrasonic

In case it helps anyone, I'll mention that I've just switched to Scottish Power and checking the standing charge and unit rates on my IHD I found they both exclude VAT. I was previously with Shell where VAT was included which is far more sensible. I don't recall checking with my previous suppliers.

I'm sure there are other examples, and it's not a huge difference at 5%, but something to watch out for if anyone is really focusing on the costs indicated on their IHD.

Since going smart I've had daily prices excluding sc and vat, then added sc but still ex vat and then finally with vat.

Their pricing as such best viewed as a guide only

And many dont get quarterly price updates anyway.

So best to use actual kWh or in case of gas m3 due to any small errors in calorific value to track usage.
