Thread Name: BS: VAT Rise
Subject: BS: VAT rise
From today, the VAT rate jumps from 17.5 per cent to 20 per cent.

Shoppers in the U.K. face chaos from today as many stores are neglecting to adjust the price tags on goods for the VAT rise and will simply charge more at the till. Retailers will also use the VAT rise to disguise hefty price hikes.
