:lalalala

Nah, don't worry, I'm going out soon, and besides, I've found a foolproof and brand new Growler copyrighted method of unconfuslicating VAT calculationanum.  cloud9:

For instance:  ?64.44 VAT @17.5% is the VAT content on a purchase price BEFORE VAT on ?368.23. happy088

Now that only took me approx 60 seconds to work out, and all I did was press a few buttons several times.  cloud9:
Bloody lafin'!

Was that an ana or a digi calculator that you used...?  rubschin:

My new system works. Just a claculator, that's all you need.
Mine has got a solar panel on it, so I presume it's digi? rubschin:
