Check your VAT

[Albereth]

Following the article in the Saturday Star about the City Power ripping people off with VAT charges, I decided to check my accounts.

I went back to July and in the 5 months they managed to get the VAT calculation wrong 3 times.

I urge all of you that receive bills from City Power to check your accounts.

I discovered this problem on my November statement last Wednesday and thought it was just me. I sent off a polite (no sarcasm here) e-mail to the JoburgConnect e-mail asking them to explain how they calculated the VAT as I couldn't reach the same conclusion.

As of now, I'm still waiting for them to respond.

When I saw the news in the Saturday Star, I went back to check my older statements but they were all fine. Funny enough, the error for November only happened because they had to do some sort of "correction".

The GF just checked her account and she was overcharged on VAT by R375.
