Price Plans for new customers after VAT increase
Currently (as an example) vodafone offfer monthly price plans on their website with nice round numbers inclusive of VAT (£15,£20, £25 etc..). If I was to get a new plan from them now my bill would go up in January to include the new 20% vat rate. However post the 20% VAT increase will vodafone (or any other operator) be advertising their plans at say £25.24 to new custoemrs or will they have £25 plans that include the new 20% VAT rate.
So essentially is best to wait for the VAT increase to get a new monthly plan or just get it now in December? |

I would assume it would be as when the VAT went down, the advertised cost fell as well.
I would not envisage any network will swallow the VAT rise for New Customers. |

My guess is that the headline price will go up. Then about spring time there will be new contract launches with rounder price points.
(March is when O2 are adjusting bolt-on prices, so I guess somewhere around there) |

Your line rental price will go up.
I have checked with T-Mobile and they say that if it goes up, your line rental goes up aswell. |

Maybe the price points will stay the same for new customers, but the number of minutes/texts will drop.

Both brands of Everything Everywhere (Orange and T-Mobile) will be increasing their price plans in respect of the VAT change. New instore POS material is being delivered for the former last week in December....
