PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
With Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling revealing plans to reduce VAT from 17.5 per cent to 15 per cent from December 1st, several retailers have expressed concerns that they may be impacted this weekend as shoppers wait for the reduction to be introduced – especially on large ticket items such as PCs.
Are you expecting a quiet weekend? Do you feel that it is going to hurt you overall? Do you feel that it a whole load of fuss about nothing?
Are you worried about the cost of changing all your point of sale material and reprinting catalogues?
Or are you more worried at potentially losing 2.5 per cent on stock you’ve recently purchased but have yet to sell? Are you going to have to sell at a loss because the change has swallowed your margin?
