Why do I have the option to automatically add 20% to my pattern prices if I swap from pricing my patterns 'excluding VAT' to pricing my patterns 'including VAT'?

We give you the option to automatically add 20% to your pattern prices if you move to pricing your patterns ‘including VAT’ because we do not have VAT-inclusive prices for your patterns. However, you will also have the option to manually enter VAT-inclusive prices for your patterns individually.

The reverse will apply if you choose to move back to VAT-exclusive pricing from VAT-inclusive pricing at a later date - you will be given the option to automatically deduct 20% from your VAT-inclusive prices to get a VAT-exclusive base price. You will again have the option to adjust the prices yourself.
