This is curiosity and ignorance rather than anything massive but..
A company sells a service online.
If you're in the US and go to their US website it costs $100.
If you're in the UK and go to their website it automatically defaults to sterling and works out at around $125.
According to them the reason it costs more in the UK is "VAT and operating expenses".
"Operating expenses" obviously is vague and can mean anything, but could someone confirm/clarify for me, if I am paying them VAT that I have to be paying a company based in the UK that has a VAT number?
