Yes VM has increased their charge. The way VAT works is the end consumer dosnt pay HM gov the charge, they pay their supplyer who in turn pays the charge. So what VM charge you has increased.

The VAT increase is no different then if one of VM's supplyers increased the cost to VM which VM in turn passed onto the end user.

Remember in this country (unlike say the US) the end user pays a VAT inclusive charge not a charge "plus tax". Meaning VAT is a charge pays BY the supplier and NOT the end user. The only exeption to this is B2B sales where prices are plus tax (so the same out woulnt work on VM business)
