Are you expecting the company to supply the equipment at cost?
The norm would be that they would add a margin on the equipment cost to cover collection, finance costs etc.
It's possible that some would just use the VAT element as their margin on the equipment.
thanks for reply. First time dealing directly with trades myself for equipment purchase so not sure of the norms...
I would have no problem paying a fee for collection etc costs - however the idea of paying 13.5% VAT on 23% VAT just rang alarm bells, and reply was not to cover collection etc, had thought adding 23% to equipment pricing (i.e. €230 per €1000 of equipment) for this seems expensive, or am I being unreasonable?
Do you now what your landed cost is for the equipment or is the €813 a delivered price?

The €813 is price at local wholesaler - is that what you mean?
The price was an internet price, however it's an Irish company based in Dublin, so price is landed, subject to collection at that company premises.
ok, so it's his mark-up. Not a bargain but not excessive either.
thanks for the feedback. so that level of mark-up on equipment pricing would be normal in the trade - I suppose I thought that the equipment would be supplied at cost, with some collection charge separate.
