Who does 'no vat to pay' refer to?

Normally VAT isn't payable where the company annual turnover is less than the minimum threshold for VAT registration. Currently this is around £54,000

However some companies do 'VAT free' promotions whcih basically mean they reduce the price by 17.5% making the final price equivalant to VAT free. However the company still has to pay VAT to Customs for good sold under such promotions.

Hi,
I do not found the location from your datacenter, where is it in the world? (City,Country)

Are you directly the datacenter owner or do you have only some racks there?

Hi,

We are based in the Redbus III datacentre in London's Docklands area, as mentioned on our site (http://www.lightning.co.uk/colocation.html). This is a shared facility run by Redbus Interhouse plc (http://www.interhouse.net/).

Happy New Year!
