I have taken advisement from numerous sources who state that in their professional opinion the site is legal and compliant.
If you or anyone else believe different then state the exact reasons/issues publicly rather than posting ambiguous and inflammatory comments.
We joined this site as we felt that it would be a good place to interact with professional contractors, rather than pick fights or play games of one upmanship.
For that reason we will not comment on this further matter.Comment

General is a bit of a playground. But there is a serious point here - you are obliged to state whether or not your prices include VAT. You're right that most B2B transactions exclude VAT, and therefore I'd assume your prices do, but, that doesn't remove the obligation to state that.Comment

Just because a B2B supplier chooses to do something doesn't mean this is the only valid way.

Let's take this apart because you're right that it needs more accuracy.
First, a more extensive quotation:
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...or-traders.pdf
Valued Added Tax (VAT)
(i) Price indications to consumers
2.2.9 All price indications you give to consumers, by whatever means, should
include VAT. This total price must be displayed prominently so that consumers can
see it.
(ii) Price indications to business customers
2.2.10 Prices may be indicated exclusive of VAT at an outlet or through
advertisements from which all of your business is with business customers. If you
also conduct business at that outlet or through these advertisements with
consumers, however, VAT inclusive prices for all goods offered by traders to
consumers are required by the Price Marking Order. Further information can be
obtained from your local authority trading standards service or at these websites:
http://www.berr.gov.uk/files/file8175.pdf,
http://www.trading.standards.gov.uk/
(iii) Professional fees
2.2.11 Where you indicate a price (including an estimate) for a professional fee, you
should make clear what it covers. The price should generally include VAT. In
cases where the fee is based on an as-yet-unknown sum of money (for example, the
sale price of a house), you should either:
(a) quote a fee which includes VAT; or
(b) if this is difficult to calculate, make it clear that in addition to your fee the
consumer would have to pay VAT at the current rate (for example "fee of 1.5% of
purchase price, plus VAT at 17.5%).
As for SJD, hireonomy stated:
This is taking the thread off topic, but to answer you: we are exclusively B2B therefore we do not need to state the fee as being inclusive/exclusive of VAT as it is commonplace for all B2B sites to be EXCLUSIVE of VAT.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

I thought I'd been on many sites before where prices were listed ex VAT without explicitly saying so, until you went to check out. I might be mis-remembering, or that might still count as indicating they are ex-VAT. Or such companies might be non-compliant, it's hardly unusual! So I'd suggest it probably IS commonplace, just as it is commonplace for reputable (typically very small) companies not to post their company registration info on their sites.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
