You'd think that'd be easy wouldn't you? Nah, I had my suspicions - I was hoping that soemone here would have the subject all sewn up! So it says... quote:
Postal services provided by the Post Office are exempt from VAT, but this exemption does not extend to similar services provided by other suppliers, even where this might be seen as being in direct competition with the Post Office. However, if any delivery charge you make to your own customers includes the cost of stamps you buy from the Post Office you may have to charge VAT on the whole amount including the cost of those stamps. Therefore the answer must be "yes"... "no"... "maybe"... "best check with official sources!" I love UK clarity [8|]
