Phone companies may have tricked many liability insurance holders into paying the increased VAT charge of 20% before the change took place, it has been found.
Research by uSwitch.com has revealed that some of the major phone companies charged 20% VAT on December calls, text and data usage, which shouldn’t have taken affect until 04 January.
The line rental for December line rental has already been billed at a rate of 17.5% VAT as phone companies charge monthly line rental and call package fees in advance.

Liability insurance holders are being urged to check their bills as it is likely this swindle may have been overlooked by many.
