VAT price changes
Following the recent VAT changes we've reduced the prices of our products and services which have standard rate UK VAT included and which we don't already offer at a discounted price. You'll see this reduction in your January bill and we'll then apply a credit to your account to backdate this saving to 1 December 2008 when these changes took effect.
We want to make our pricing as simple as possible so we've rounded the prices on many of the products and services that have been reduced. Get more information and the prices. And don't forget you can check your bill anytime at sky.com/mysky or by using the Interactive key on your remote.
