There was a recent thread in uk.telecom.voip which mentioned Gradwell
Communications not quoting VAT on their services aimed at home users. If
I remember correctly, Peter Gradwell argued that he did not have to
quote VAT inclusive prices to personal customers because Gradwell
Communications was mainly aimed at business users, I argued otherwise,
and, if I remember correctly again, you commented in that thread,
agreeing with me :-)

I have just revisited Gradwell's site and it seems not much has changed,
there is a slight improvement where I found one price that included VAT.
