Changes to VAT rules and the way in which our services are regulated have affected the VAT status of a number of our products. A limited range of our services became subject to VAT through 2011, and this will extend to all bulk mail services from April 2012.

Universal services (USO) such as 1st and 2nd Class stamps will continue to be VAT exempt from April 2012.

The following table shows a full list of services that are changing their VAT status.
