I agree, Nick. The context is what matters. I boil it down to this:
• “List price less VAT”: This is what Ed should have stated. Method A applies.
• “21% off the list price”: This is what Ed stated to me. Method B applies.
In the strictest of definitions and without putting this into context I stuck to the latter, Method B, because that was the agreement. After all, price was an important criteria. However…. of course I realize that all Ed is trying to accomplish is to deduct the VAT portion, i.e. making Method A the correct method in this case. Maybe a mean streak crawled up my butt last week, not sure.
Ed,
