Eon next Creative Accounting

aj2052

My Current bill from Eon next, is this 

creative accounting at its best ?:

Sub Total of charges before VAT:...£94.29

VAT@5%..............................£4.71

Total Electricity Charges..........£89.00

HM Gov Discount Energy Bills Support

Scheme (Vat0%).....................£66.00

Sub Total Credits befor VAT.......-£66.00

VAT@0%..............................£0.00

Total of Credits..................-£66.00

Total Charges before VAT...........£28.29

Total VAT...........................£4.71

Total Charges for bill.............£33.00

Which effectively calculates Vat against a fictitous amount.

I would expect the following:

Sub Total of charges before VAT:...£94.29

HM Gov Discount...................-£66.00

Sub Total befor VAT................£28.29

VAT@5%..............................£1.41

Total Charges for bill.............£29.70

Can Anybody agree

no because the vat is due on your use before the goverment discount. 

the goverment are basically paying part of your bill for you. not making part of your bill 'free'. 

the problem is the software wasnt designed for what its being used for so it looks like a discount before vat on the bill when actually its treated as a credit just like your dd.
