No Rate Increase with UK VAT

Friday, January 1st, 2010

As you may be aware, from Friday 1st January 2010 the UK’s VAT rate is going back up from 15% to 17.5%.

Most companies will be increasing their prices to compensate, but to celebrate another successful year at Localphone we’re going to keep our rates as they are, effectively giving a 2.5% discount across all destinations.

Thank you for your support in 2009. We’re looking forward to some exciting new developments over the coming months.

Please note that this notice affects our GBP and EUR customers. Users with USD accounts do not pay VAT.
