It's not illegal to raise prices ya know

If you came in to our shop last week and bought a plain hoodie you would have paid £11, now you pay £13, put that throught your calculator

You forgot the "and smoke it" bit off the end

I think that a lot of shops will use the increase as "cover" to increase prices, it would not be the first time. It happens with tax increases after the budget as well.

Most shops won't exist in 6 months time. We will all have made so much from the VAT increase we will have all taken early retirement and swanned off to our holiday homes in the sun

Re: 20% vat
Went in Argos in Hull on Tues the 4th Jan to buy a couple of things.Got back in the car and looked at the receipt.The new VAT price was already being charged.I nearly went back in to ask for my money back.Argos is supposed to be a competetive shop yet they cant wait to get there hands on more cash. Think again before I go in there.

I don't understand that. The price advertised will be the price you pay. The VAt element of it is irrelevabt. As pipin says the VAt came in to force at 00.01 on Tuesday morning.

Are you saying Argos chraged you more than the price you agreed to pay ?

Re: 20% vat
Argos, Lancsdave or yours truly make no more money from the vat increase, we collect it and pass it to the government, we should probably charge for the administration, but probably wont!

Can you talk us through why it costs more in administration to charge 20% rather than 17.5%? Do you use more ink writing out the numbers?

Can actually make less. If you bought something before the 4th and only reclaimed 17.5% you now have to pay 20% on it. So the profit margin is actually down compared to what it would have been before the 4th
