  • I’ve just had a renewal letter, why have the prices gone up so much?

    Like most companies, our prices increase in line with our costs however we aim to keep these as low as possible.  The net price you pay has had a minimal increase.  However this year (2019), following guidance from HMRC, we have changed our vat structure on subscriptions to reflect the digital proportion of subscriptions, so the gross price has increased to a greater extent.
