New year VAT increase
« on: November 11, 2009, 05:06:00 pm »
How many of you are going to be adjusting your prices in the new year to cover this added expense, we are all seeing our diesel prices go up weekly already and with the 2.5% rise in VAT it will be up even more not to mention the rise being put on every item we buy from then on in.  I was thinking in rising my 6 and 7 houses to 8 and letting them know this month when i drop the slip through their door.  Is it better to inform them as to why or just let them know its being increased??
