Skype and VAT

[kmac]

Any Skype users out there?

I just noticed that I paid £11.50 for £10 worth of Skype Credit.
The explanation was £1.50 was VAT

I now notice that call costs using Skype also include VAT - does this not mean that I am paying VAT twice??

Can't figure out how to conatct them to take up this issue with Skye directly.

Okay sorry to bother you with this......just found out from the Skype forum ( where I should have looked int he first place) that they charge VAT when you buy credit but not when you make the calls ( although they quote rates with and with out VAT)
