Other rates of VAT are not affected
This change in the standard rate of VAT does not affect sales of goods or
services that are charged at another rate of VAT. These are:
??????? Zero rated - for example most foodstuffs, children's clothing or books,
??????? Reduced rated - for example children's car seats, supplies of domestic
fuel and power, and
??????? Exempt - for example education, health and financial services.

PDF file page 4. This may be an opportunity for the retailers to increase the prices though...Not sure how it works on nursery furniture, prams etc. Theoretically, the above information means that there should be no change in prices of essentials for children. Hth xx
And now I've re-posted, my reply shows up. GRRRRR! Why haven't they fixed these bugs?? :roll: :roll:
looks like mothercare will lie to get that extra sale...GGRRR its now the 2nd time I've had a bad experience with mothercare....1st time was a very rude sales assistant !!!! GGRR
I think I'll stick with babiesRus....
thanks again
