E commerce website owners may struggle with the forthcoming VAT Rate Changes in 2011

As a business you are aware that as of 4th January 2011 VAT in the UK is being increased from 17.5% to 20%

(confirmed by HM Revenue & Customs).

What impact does this have on your business?

Not all companies will be VAT registered. Some companies trading will be VAT exempt. For example Children`s Clothing. However most are commercial VAT registered companies. If you display VAT in your terms and conditions or as a separate value in your shopping cart it will need changing straight away.

* Your shopping cart will need to display the new VAT rate of 20%

* Some prices are VAT included and will need to be increased by 2.5%

* The new VAT rate will need to be shown to your customers.

* Email confirmations and delivery notes may also need changing.

You do not need to go through every individual product in your database to implement the changes. We are experts in e-commerce design in both PHP and ASP written online shopping carts and can write a bespoke solution to solve your problem.

To ensure your business is correct and up to date when displaying and calculating VAT in your online shop to your customers,

we can make all the relevant vat changes to your website. We support all shopping carts written in PHP or ASP, including off the shelf shopping carts.

If your e-commerce website(Shopping Cart) is designed and set up correctly then the VAT element will be set in a seperate

field or element and may even be something that you can quickly and easily change yourself. This is how we set up e-commerce websites and shopping carts. If you can not change the VAT rate in your control panel / administration this is where problems can occur and we can rewrite your shopping cart to take into effect the new rate.

But do not worry - we are here to help!
