No systems need changing. There is no impact on pricing except to the
end user - things in the shops are cheaper for you and me.

Oh, so my receipt from (e.g.) the car rental company will still say
cost of hire: 59.57, VAT: 10.43, total: 70.00 will it?

(and this is a personal purchase for me)

Which part of "except to the end user" did you not understand, end user?

You seem to have a problem with sentences.

Not in the slightest. I'm a big fan of sentences.

There's two questions and two answers. You seem to think that the
answer to the second question relates partly to the first question.

Well, I didn't and don't think that, nor can I see how I can have
seemed to think that.

There were indeed two questions (by mogga) and two answers (by Troy),
being one answer to each question. Then there followed one comment
(by tim).

I addressed only that comment, which I took to refer to the second
answer only. Mind you, I suppose it's possible that the comment
referred to the first answer only. Either way the comment was
inappropriate, because ...

Systems will need changing to reflect the change in the VAT rate.

.... as someone else has already pointed out, systems do not need
changing. The system was conveniently designed to incorporate knobs,
and all that would be necessary is to adjust one of them (this doesn't
change the system, it only changes the answers it spews out). OK, so
some difficulty could arise from the fact that the relevant knob has
not needed to be adjusted for nearly two decades and has, in a manner
of speaking, "rusted solid". Knowledge of how to twiddle it has
atrophied. That's hardly the system's fault.
