However it's not a new one but you know for the extra examples I didn't post, it never crossed my mind that Merchants would remove the vat (17.5% currently) from non-vat items such as book before paying commission, clearly that sounds like a system mix up in that when they factored in removing the vat from a DVD but not from the Books, but how many people will have noticed? Not many I can tell you, some people that have read this article have told me, they never even thought about this issue until I posted about it.

I actually had to print this post out to understand all the scenarios! I noticed this a number of months ago, and after realising it, contacted a few merchants to pinpoint the differences. Some were willing to change my comm's strucutre and others weren't even willing to discuss it. Obviously those links were changed immediately! Also it's worth remembering that some items are VAT free and last year there was a problem with <a href="http://www.a4uforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=47776&highlight=vat" rel="nofollow">DVD.co.uk deducting VAT</a> before paying commissions even thought the goods ordered were books and hence VAT free.
