Interesting to note how different organisations have approached implementation of the new temporary 21% VAT Rate.
Pre-reduction I paid Apple €2.99 for their iCloud services. Post reduction I've paid two invoices for Sept. & Oct this year at the rate of €2.99 because poor Apple have had to raise the pre-VAT charge for their service from €2.43 to €2.47.
By contrast An Post with their AddressPal Service, are charging €3.85 rather than €3.95 pre COVID-19 VAT rate change.
It's not the lousy few cent but the mind-set that bothers me, on one the hand, because we can and we're worth mega trillions, on the other because we're fighting for every cent we can add to turnover.
Any other examples? Petrol & diesel prices are down locally but not to the full lock-down levels, diesel €106.9/ltr currently, was €0.999 at its lowest.
