I use two companies when ordering in my stock both of which I pay for postage one company applies postage at checkout then adds VAT the other subtotals the garments, adds VAT then the postage to give me my total.
My question is as postage is not VAT applicable should the first company be applying VAT to the postage? if no then this company owes me and many others a lot of money. £1.20p per order for me which is 35 orders since I have been using them.
