Interesting to see that this is now a Plastic Box website. Also interesting to see that prices are now quoted excluding VAT. That seems rather unusual.

Its very poor in my view if the "Full Price" is not given,

i certainly wouldn't go in not knowing the price of stuff.

At the top right of the screen under the checkout box there is an option for you to set prices with or without vat. For a retail website that should be set as vat inclusive by default by the retailer.

The only items that have VAT added properly are socks and bearded lady doll (?).

The black polo shirt but the vat is only 1.5%, and 3 training tops 10.5%.

Shirts are £29.99 with or without VAT according to the site no matter what size, surely list adults and children's separately for VAT reasons?

£29.99 is a good price compared to some premier league clubs who are asking for £50+

Think arsenal might be charging £60

Do people not realise these shirts cost the manufacturer less than £1 to make for premier league clubs due to the scale of the operation?

The website is in a state of confusion. For a shirt, the price of £29.99 is quoted as including VAT - and excluding VAT. Not very helpful.

That could be kids sizes which are vat exempt

The price from will always be the lowest price which will be the childs price, I think if you click on the actual size required it will then bring up the correct price with correct vat

All childrens clothing up to the age of 12/13 is vat free. Strange quirk on Mitre sizing is that the XS Adult shirt is actually vat free product.

Yep Dave it does are £39.99, I missed the from on the main page, but on the product page there is no from mentioned.

So up to 32/34" chest £29.99 and 34/36" plus is £39.99 or the same as last season.

Yes they are. I noticed the polos are cheaper £21.99 compared to £25 last season. Shorts are dearer though, I must not have added enough on last season

A child with a 50" - 52" chest??

The confusion lies here:

From £29.99 (ex. VAT)
£29.99 (inc. VAT)

That is taken straight from the website.

Strictly speaking those prices are correct as they relate to children's sizes which are vat exempt. They will not relate to the size you quoted as it is not a child size.

It's a typical marketing ploy which hooks you in at the lower price. That doesn't mean it's not a daft way of doing it since I doubt anybody will be able to reclaim the vat.

Actually DAV, the cost is £39.99. As Lancsdave and Deeayess have correctly pointed out, the price quoted is for a child's size and draws you in. It's only when you start to make your order that you realise how much you will be paying.

If I were to order a shirt online, it would in fact cost £43.60.

Shirt: £33.33
Delivery: £4.97
Discount (

): £1.96
VAT: £7.27
