Prices on tariffs are wrong on MSE

Wanted to change to the British Gas deal to save a couple of hundred a year and compared this with my current tariff. See pics attached. The prices for my current plan are wrong and too high on all three elements: day rate, night rate and standing charge. Compare with my bill from 03/10/2025 below. And yes I triple checked that I put in the right tariff. It is stated at top of the bill.

    Netexporter is correct, VAT @ 5%,
    R1 23.1238p + 5% = 24.28p,
    R2 16.2571p + 5% = 17.07p.
    St Ch 49.28p + 5% = 51.74p.
