For example, if a product costs £10.00 +VAT the total you pay is £12.00. When we have a VAT Free Sale, we discount the price down to £8.33 +VAT so the total you pay is £10.00, which is the same as the original price, but without the VAT.

VAT Free discount does not apply to the delivery charge and may not be applied to products already subject to a price reduction or discount. This VAT free offer means the total payable is the pre-VAT total of the merchandise.

This offer cannot be used in conjunction with Privilege Points. Salon Furniture & Equipment, Training Courses, College Kits and Shipping are excluded from the offer. VAT Free promotion is available online and in Trade Hair Supplies stores. If you're VAT registered you can still reclaim your VAT.
