During our in-store VAT FREE events, you can visit your local store to shop in person, call the store and place an order over the phone or email in your order as usual.

During our online only VAT FREE events, the discount will only be available by placing orders through the website – astonandfincher.co.uk.

Some of you will ask “Why is there still VAT showing on my invoice?”

By law we have to charge VAT on purchases. There’s no escaping the taxman! But on VAT Free days we discount the value of the VAT from the price of the product. So even though VAT is still showing on your receipt, it is the same as you not paying VAT price at all!

In a nutshell, our VAT Free discount means the total amount payable is the pre-VAT total of your order.

Calculation
£100 list price item (ex VAT) – 16.66% = £83.33 + 20% VAT = £100.00 (original online list price).

Please note: Next day delivery is not available during VAT Free promotions - orders will be despatched within 3-5 working days. Free delivery excludes large items and equipment.
