VAT Rules
Our fees are quoted both inclusive and exclusive of VAT as not all clients are required to pay VAT. This depends on their immigration status, and we will advise you before any payment is agreed upon based on your current immigration status. Whether or not you, as an individual client, would need to pay VAT will be clarified beforehand. Some fees in the table are marked as N/A as no individual making this specific application would be subject to VAT.
