Why? Another thread suggests that including your VAT number is not mandatory and, in fact, might be something to avoid.

I can not understand why. Someone please tell me. I have always included it in my letterheads.

Why do you always include it so? Not everybody needs to know and those who do can be told on an ad-hoc basis.

Consumer affairs did a spot check on my web site. They bought something by CC and retrurned it a few days later.

It is now on the receipt they get, not on the main site.

I wouldn't put it on my letterheads, only receipts or ivoices
