We've just started taking cards.

Like many a small business we are adding 30p to totals under a tenner.

Is this technically a sale (i.e. do we put a button on the till for it to add to the sub-total) and is it a Vat qualifying sale?

My thoughts are yes and yes, but swmbo is thinking it's No, and therefore n/a

Many thanks

Section 4.7

"If you are a retailer:

you must account for VAT at the time of supply (see Notice 700 The VAT Guide) on the full price charged to the customer for the goods/services supplied, and
if you charge for accepting payment by one of the above cards, the charge is further consideration for the supply of goods/services. VAT is chargeable at the same rate as the goods or services supplied."

So yes and yes.
