Your'e right Nicky-j, the amount VAT in an price is calculated by multiplying the total by 3/23, e.g. if an item costs £11.50 the formula is 11.5*3/23 = 1.5, i.e. £1.50 VAT (the formula for 17.5% was 7/47. You can use this on the old price to get the selling price of the item then add the new...

I hope QVC do pass on the 2.5% saving as it will also apply to delivery charges (for VATable items). I know it doesn't sound much on individual items but if you add up the savings on all the VATable items that you buy for the next 13 months I think it will add up to a decent amount. Peggie xx

... and not alienating anybody you're trying to sell stuff to! PS I agree with you BB - it's simply incorrect to address everybody as Christian.

I think that Julia asks for 'Christian names' in quite a pointed way - as if she's sticking to her guns as a point of principle, and this is what irritates me about it. If she's been asked not to use the term to ensure she's being inclusive then she should acquiesce - after all she's learnt the...
