VAT question.

[leftie]

I have just been in my member page to buy two more licences and the cost in the first drop down window shows the cost with vat added. I thought you were going to absorb this cost??? Will it be took off on checkout.

[leftie]

I have just gone through the payment stages and at checkout i am asked to pay an extra £25 pound in vat. What is going on ??

The price of an owned vBulletin license will be $160 including VAT ($136.17 + VAT) for the next three months. Afterwards, it will be $160.00 + VAT

[leftie]

Sorry my mistake, what made me question it is that the cost has gone up by about £16.00 since i last purchased 6 months ago, surely the exchange rate hasn't changed that much.

[leftie]

Lol this is doing my head.
Further to my confusion the cost on checkout is showing as if i own 1-2 licence, this will explain the £16.00 difference. Why doesn't it show my multiple licence discount.

Last time I saw the price of a license was 91 pounds

I think that is the problem to my outburst and confusion, my discount isn't being shown.

It did that to me--but then I clicked "continue" and somewhere along the line (forgot where) it showed the drop in price.

[leftie]

i was on the ready to pay by paypal page and still it shows the full amount.

[Onimua]

Are your two previous licenses the same kind (Owned or Leased) and is the new one your buying the same as the other two?

[leftie]

Sure, the last licence i purchased showed the discount at paypal level but at this moment i show no discount whatsoever. Maybe i should post a support ticket.

[leftie]

Lol, my mistake again. The discount is there but there has been a massive increase in costs. My last price was £75.00 (6mths ago) but now you are asking me for £84.00, please explain this increase.

[Onimua]

I think it's probably be a good idea to contact sales@vbulletin.com and sort this out with them personally.

email sent.

My last price was £75.00 (6mths ago) but now you are asking me for £84.00, please explain this increase.We have NOT had a single price increase since starting in 2000. The price is in US dollars. The difference you are seeing is due to changes in currency exchange rates, which of course we have no control over. :)

160USD currently equals about £91

See http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDGBP=X

You'll see that there has been an increase since September, though it should only be about £5 more expensive.
