VAT on Repairs

Has anyone else noticed that the repair service says £64 (UK), but at no time tells you that you have to pay 20% VAT?

I went through and paid my £64 on credit card, then printed the receipt and saw £76.80.

I have looked in to this and this is illegal.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Misleading prices

The trader may have committed a criminal offence if they give false or misleading information about a price for goods or services or if they don’t display a price where that is key for making a decision to buy. For example:

a sign that advertises reduced items with the words ‘Offer ends today’ but the offer is still on the next day

a restaurant menu that describes dishes on offer but does not include their prices.

If you have a query about a price you’ve been given and you think you may have been misled, complain to the trader and report them to trading standards.

Xbox one pricing

The USA price don't hae VAT as each state has a different VAT %

take 20% of the UK price for VAT and there is only about £16 difference

 

While I agree that it should say £76 inc VAT. It actually states thus on the repair FAQ for the United Kingdom:

How much does an out-of-warranty repair cost?
The cost of an out-of-warranty console repair varies:

• £64 plus tax if you
  submit a repair request online
• £76 plus tax if you call Xbox Support and have a support agent create the repair order for you

While we are now accustomed to prices being stated with the VAT included in the UK, I can't see any breach of UK law in the description above.
