VAT Recent VAT reduction has raised queries around NTS…
• BT Retail is passing on the benefit to consumers;
• Not maintaining prices and increasing “P”;
But
• NTNP designations “inclusive of value added tax”
• Terminators set the rates
• Need to consider future VAT changes
116xxx access codes
Pan-European codes for help lines
