FIGGY Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 OK now I look stupid. Thanks for that. It has dropped a hal of a lot YoY when inflation has been going up, do you know why this would be an what indirect taxes it would relate to? I have a price increase negotiation and have been asked to only increase prices by RPIY as benchmarked in August 2011 and to be honest I have no idea if this will be a good or a bad thing for me vs a RPI linked increase????

The principle indirect tax excluded from RPIY (effectively core inflation) is VAT. This was raised to 17.5% (from 15%) in January 2010. So you can see the effect of VAT on headline inflation. And VAT has just gone up to 20%, Your price negotiator is requesting a price increase excluding the effect of VAT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
