    Hi

    I have the Sky basic package with 4 packs with no premium channels and so have been paying €26.50 per month.

    This month my direct debit was €25.60. I don't see this on their website. Have prices reduced? maybe because of sterling difference?

    BTW, I do notice on their website that from 7 march, they will be charging an extra 75c for paying bills by continuous credit card.

    Thanks for help

    The UK VAT rate drop (from 17.5% to 15%)? There's a thread on here from some time back, I think.

    Mod: Thread exists already, so closing this one. cgarvey has answered the query anyway.

    Since maximus02 has explained to me that he believes his most recent reduction is on top of the UK VAT rate reduction, I have re-opened this thread.

    Thanks Byte.

    As I explained to Byte, my Sky subscription did reduce in January from €27.00 to €26.50 which I assume was due to the VAT change as mentioned in another thread.

    However this month it has reduced further to €25.60. I just wonder have others noticed this?

    I think it still relates to UK VAT reduction. The VAT reduction i believe came in in Dec 1st. As sky charge in advance and the fact it took sky a few weeks to implement the reduction on there systems, this months sub includes the refund of VAT charged before the reduction was implemented in Sky.
