Getting Azure credit sounds like a wonderful boon, presumably in keeping with MAPS history you can use this for running your production server should you wish? Even if not it's a great feature.
I use the azure credit for production websites and for testing web jobs and functions etc. I had a quick look and didn't see anything obvious about just using it for training or testing but who would care anyway

Originally posted by woohoo View PostWell you get a monthly azure credit (£70 though might have increased to £100) which more than covers the cost for me. Then along with Office licenses and Office 365 email (5 licenses) and operating systems etc, it's good value.
The first year I had a promo code which cut it down to around 200 ish.
For another £3 a month you get a Skype conference dial in number. This in itself is valuable as clients seem to take for ever to issue conf call numbers and they can be crappy.
Project and Visio as well and you get a real lot for the money.
Total no brainer at 330

I assume it's still a massive bargain if you use even 10% of it?

Check with your accountant to be sure you can claim. Personally I don't think that £70 is worth getting on the VATman radar.
MS stopped offering promo codes for it as of 30.06.2017.Last edited by sal; 2 January 2018, 09:53.

You need to understand how interstate vat works. He hasn’t really saved you a penny

It's 330GBP + 0% VAT
That was in September

Originally posted by woohoo View PostIt's not for me. I had to edit the contact information then add the vat again. But the original order is still showing vat and it won't cancel so I can do a new renew order.
This is not a great website.

Originally posted by Lance View PostNot quite. You put in the vat number and MS won’t charge the VaT at all. FRS makes no odds.
EDIT: more detail on that is that it's a foreign transaction as MS are Ireland based. If you provide them the VAT number they ermove the charge. Whether you should then 'fess up on your VAT returns I don't know, but if you've not been charged VAT I don't see why.
