Argos and VAT

[Hard Graft]

I was in Argos getting an SD card and asked for a vat receipt but but told they don’t do them in store and they were not helpful on how to go about getting one so how do I get one

Email them with a transaction reference from your normal receipt; or scan/photo it and send it

 

[Andy26]

Below £250 you do not need a detailed Vat receipt, are you sure there VAT number is not on the back or bottom of receipt, this is all you would need.

How can I get a V.A.T. receipt?​

We can send you a V.A.T. receipt for the product(s) you have purchased. In order to receive such a receipt, please Email customer services, including your order number and we'll be more than happy to deal with your request.

Also says if you ordered online you can download a VAT receipt from your account.

Buy your SD card in Tesco’s. Bought two there last week and they can issue VAT receipts. “Every little helps”

Why do these places not have the vat element shown on receipts as standard? What advantage is there not to show it,?

 

[Fergieman]

Amazon supply VAT receipts in A4 format.

The most expensive SD card on the Argos website is £39.99. I'd probably not worry too much about £3.67 in VAT, unless I was buying a box of them

While you’re buying your SD card maybe you should buy a new calculator. Might be worth claiming the VAT back on both the items.

39.99 / 120 (vat at 20%) = 0.33325 X 100 = £33.325 (cost less VAT)

39.99 - 33.325 = £6.665 VAT, unless I've missed something.

All on their receipts possibly.

I think you have put a3 not a 6 by mistake

but a 8.99 one the vat is about 1% off the valve off a tonne off gain

 

[Wesley]

39.99 / 120 (vat at 20%) = 0.33325 X 100 = £33.325 (cost less VAT)

39.99 - 33.325 = £6.665 VAT, unless I've missed something.

Sorry, your calculator is right. Must be your glasses. Think you’ve typed the wrong number by mistake.

Annoys me when they ask do you want the receipt. Why ask just give me it and on we go.

You don't really need that for a well known company.
It's hardly a secret

Amazon supply VAT receipts in A4 format.

If you have an Amazon Business account the prices are listed ‘plus VAT’ and bulk downloads of invoices for goods supplied by Amazon are possible. Some goods will be sold direct with or without invoices available and ‘facilitated by Amazon’ may require an invoice direct from the supplier.
Buyer beware!

Consumers cannot claim any VAT back so the VAT cost is irrelevant to them. All they want to know is the bottom line. Yes, many counter sales tills do not automatically print a customer VAT receipt or receipt of any kind apart for the shop’s accounting these days. Others, like supermarkets, do, and it is important you get one in case you are accused of walking out without paying. In other cases it is important in case an item is faulty and has to be returned.

An easier way to work the vat out is to divide the total by six, then multiply by five, it gives you the vat and net price, when vat is at 20%
39.99 / 6 = 6.665. Vat
6.665 X 5 = 33.325 net
