VAT is applied to all goods and services supplied by the Company at the rate prevailing as at the date of supply. The rate to be applied and paid by the Buyer may therefore be subject to change from time to time.

For the avoidance of doubt you are liable to pay VAT at the rate which applies as at the date of invoice.

In the event that the Company has indicated or agreed that a zero or reduced rate of VAT applies, and the zero or reduced rate has been applied to all and any invoices for goods and services supplied, but HM Revenue and Customs subsequently challenges the zero or reduced

rate, for whatever reason, the Buyer we be liable to pay over to the Company, within 7 days of a written request for payment, the difference between the VAT rate applied to the relevant invoice(s) and the amount of VAT required to be paid by HM Revenue and Customs.

Time is of the essence for payment of all sums due to the Company in respect of VAT. If the Buyer fails to pay any sums due within 7 days of the date of a written request from the Company interest at the rate of 8% above the Bank of England base rate from time to time will be applies and the Buyer will be liable, on a full indemnity basis, to pay all costs and expenses including, but not necessarily limited to, legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company in taking such recovery and/or enforcement action against the Buyer as the Company, in its absolute discretion, thinks fit
