Choose your netbook now and beat the VAT rise

You may have forgotten that on January 1st  VAT will rise by 2.5% to 17.5% as the reduced VAT rate comes to an end.

The Samsung N510 will cost £7 more from January

You’ll have to pay £5 extra on the cheapest netbook

The VAT rise means that from January, the cheapest £200 netbook will cost £5 more in tax.  Mid price netbooks like the Samsung N110 will go up by £7. And a top of the range £400 netbook will go up by a massive £10. So if you’d rather see the tenner in your pocket than in Gordon Brown’s, you need to buy soon.

Not just netbooks - there’s £15 extra on a £600 flat screen TV

Yes, everything that carries the normal rate of VAT will go up in price too. For every £200 that your fridge, cooker, TV, XBox terminal costs, you’ll fork out an extra £5 in tax.

So if you were waiting for prices to come down  for your electrical goods and cheap netbooks, then think again.

Prices on netbooks and electrical goods are already at a low as retailers fight for your business. In particular there are some cracking offers on cheap netbooks. So if you were thinking of investing in a netbook, a PC, a new large screen TV, then saving the extra tax is another good reason not to delay.

Choose your netbook from the net’s cheapest netbooks on our low price checker where we find the UK’s cheapest prices for you every day.  It’s on the FIND CHEAPEST PRICE tab at the top of each page.

Or have a look at the huge range of computer and electrical goods at Currys online store where there are masses of Sale offers - and all with today’s lower VAT rate.
