How to remain competetive

Simply do what all other companies these days seem to be doing and just quote your prices without VAT.

Then when you send them the invoice, just say, "oh yeah well you've got to pay VAT, that's just the rules, nothing we can do about it".

I once saw this done on a 20k development project. But you know, what's 4 grand between friends? They were fuming.
