[bitfolk] UK VAT to increase to 20% from 2011-01-04

Hello, I hope you're all having a great Christmas. As announced in UK's June budget, the standard UK VAT rate will increase from 17.5% to 20% with effect from midnight on January 4th, 2011. Invoices for services that are provided after this date will be showing VAT at 20% if you normally have to pay UK VAT. If you pay by automated PayPal subscription then your payments will be adjusted by us. PayPal will probably notify you of that over the next couple of days. If you normally receive PayPal or Google payment requests then these will be for the new price. If you normally pay by standing order then you're going to need to change it. You can wait to receive the invoice (7 days before it falls due) or you can have a look at https://panel.bitfolk.com/account/config/ which will tell you what it's going to be. Otherwise if you do manual payments by whatever means then please do see the invoice for the correct amount. If you have any questions please do let us know, either here or to support(a)bitfolk.com. Last time we changed prices (July), many people did not read their invoices and carried on paying the old price. A lot of time was spent trying to contact people to inform them of this, but even now there are still some paying the wrong amount, who were fortunate enough to have their service decrease in price and are slowly building up credit. This time we aren't going to be able to chase people beyond the usual sequence of late payment reminders, so if you start receiving notices of late payment please do contact us to find out why. Finally I'd just like to wish you all a happy and prosperous 2011. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
