PrePaid cards/Loophole - Esato archive

Posted by glasgow.uk
In todays paper it says that a legal loophole has been closed which now means that 17.5% tax has to be paid on Prepaid vouchers. Example: A Ł20 voucher will cost Ł23.50.
Orange and Virgin have confirmed that they will NOT pass on the extra cost to the customer.
Safeway also mentioned some b***sh** about it, but i didnt understand what they were going on about.
The paper says that there is only about 2weeks supply of tax-free cards left in shops.
I thought costs were coming down, sounds like there going up.

What a disgrace!!!!
