Will always be £500 + VAT (if VAT is applicable). You'll never see a VAT inclusive rate, because VAT belongs to the VAT man, not you.

So which is the correct answer? If you see a gig on Jobserve for Barclays, Halifax or another bank which is advertising £500 p.d., are they expecting that to be plus VAT on top or are there going to be problems later when you get the contract to sign?

Thanks.

I am sure that they will have various different parts of the company all registered as individual companies in the group though. I'm sure that employment of contractors will be handled by one of the companies in the group that can be VAT registered.
Banks know how to make money, and don't often miss a trick. I will not belive that none of them have found a way around reclaiming VAT for a large portion of thier business activities that do not involve exempt supplies.

A company which only makes excempt supplies may not register for VAT.

I'd be very surprised if he was the only one to have spotted that option, but banks cannot reclaim VAT on their core businesses, which is why he had to use a pre-existing company and not just set up a new one.

Unless they are banks or HMG...
The correct answer is to quote exclusive of VAT as eveyone says, but make sure you add "Plus VAT" so they are clear about it. It won't affect the outcome to you but might make an impact on their budgetting if they can't reclaim VAT.
