Are you absolutely sure it isn't in the small print somewhere? If not, yes, you might well have cause for complaint.

No, not in my opinion.

VAT is not part of the package offered by the Business, & it does not accrue to the Business, it is a Government tax.

...and by complaint I don't mean remedy

In a lot of customer service sectors, sellers should make the price clear, so it might be something you are able to pursue if the total you are paying is higher than you expected.

What happens as a result is difficult to say but there's no reason why you shouldn't pursue it if you believe you've been done over.

Another equity beat for your collection Alex.

I must say, I had never heard that expression used in poker until you mentioned it a few weeks ago, now half of blonde use it.

Posh Alex, never a sheep, always a shepherd.

If you're on a business contract I'd expect it to show you the price without VAT. If  a personal contract I was under the impression that they had to show you the full price you pay.

How long have you been signed up for?

[cambridgealex]

oh wait...its fine. i remembered i did an addon for £5/month to use my minutes and texts abroad because my november bill is correctly £36.xx +20%vat = £41 as advertised.

One for the sig there, perhaps!

[outragous76]

Fwiw, they can't sell things without clearly telling you if vat is excl

[atdc21]

They prob sell a million contracts a year, they will have all the is dotted and ts crossed in their 10 page contract that no one ever reads, until its too late.

If you can find the time, please play a couple of your favourite pieces. You know, the things you really enjoy playing.

OK I just did this. I learnt this piece when I was 15 for my GCSE Music performance, and it's still one of my favourite pieces to play. It's by Brahms who's one of my favourite composers, it's in a simple ternary form (ABA), a ferocious opening theme, gorgeous calming middle section with fragments of the theme cleverly intertwined, then the theme returns.

I'm just dusting off the cobwebs of this old repertoire, so I probably did a better job when I was 15 but hope you enjoy!
