Hi Roger, Yes, I agree the onus is on us, but there is nothing that is legal, in other words, provided by the government, that states that we are allowed to provide an Apple phone VAT-exempt. I can see sighted peop;le say they're buying them as gifts tfor blind people to get round this loophole and get an iPhone cheaper. Personally, I just wish VAT exemption would go away. Everyone should pay VAT. That's of course, jsut my opinion, not that of CRS.

My days as a VAT advisor were long before this equipment was available.

Even Apple stores give you different answers, so until I see this in writing as being legal, then we will charge VAT on iPhones and other pphones with voice software. Nobody yet, has been able to point us to evidence of this. Apple can take the hit if the Government catch them at it.

Somehow I must have missed the answer for this. The Regent street Apple shop thinks it does not apply to Iphones. ------------------- Thank you.
