Hi All Just been to the Apple store in Glasgow before work to try and buy an Iphone 5 tried to explain the situation around VAT and possible discount of voiceover and zooms. I eventually got to speak to a guy who told me he was one of the managers. But he knew nothing of the possibility of getting VAT exempt on Apple products. Also mentioned that I have heard of people getting a similar discount at Apple stores across the country. Sadly I never got my phone or any discount.

I think Apple now are calling it a 20% discount rather than the VAT Exempt. -----Original Message----- From: Niamh Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2013 5:30 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: VAT Exemptions Apple Products Hi Sam, This is the best advice I can give as a former anVAT officer. There is no Exemptions, but Apple are either confused or trying to push the boundaries, touched with a bit of kindest. Ask your local Apple if Apple offer this if they say yes, take it. They may give it, but trust me when I tell you the renenue have not granted this, and it falls outside the rules. Good Luck I hope you get it. Niamh PS computers I do not understand VAT I do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Howie" <sam.howie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "BCAB Discussion List" <bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Access-uk" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2013 5:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] VAT Exemptions Apple Products > Hi > There has been a bit of discussion in the past about people getting VAT > exempt on apple products.
