Why the VAT column matters
Most clubs, societies and small charities are not VAT registered, so they cannot reclaim it. That makes VAT a real cost to you rather than an accounting entry.
The good news is that leaflets, flyers and programmes are normally zero rated. The catch is that certain specifications lose the relief. Paper of 250gsm or heavier. Anything larger than A4. Anything used to gain admission. Anything carrying a discount voucher. And in some cases a laminated cover intended to be kept.
We point this out on your quotation. Occasionally it means recommending a slightly different specification that saves you several hundred pounds for no visible difference.
Two ways to spend less
Book your season by 31 January and take 10% off. All your print for the year, quoted and locked in one go. It helps us plan and it saves you money.
Come back next year. Repeat year design is charged at 60% of the original fee, because we keep and reuse your template.
